[gentoo-user] Re: unable to emerge anything...
Alan, I'll check the links out. As for as unmerging anything else no. Not yet anyway, give me time though. Richard, I recently had that same problem and I notice you are also using the hardened profile. I don't remember exactly what I did but it involved re-compiling gcc and making sure the `harened' use flag was cancelled (USE='-hardened') I think I did something like boot from the minimal install iso and use the compiler on it to chroot and compile a gcc without the hardened flag. I don't remember now for sure... how I did it, but I am pretty sure your gcc needs to be recompiled without the `hardened' flag. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Generally you can just emerge -uND world and we done with it. But life isn't always so simple. I can think of a few updates in the last while that were problematic, but I think they were all more than a year ago: Xorg 6.x - 7.x - there's wiki pages for that at gentoo-wiki.com gcc-3.3.x - 3.4.x - check gentoo.org/docs for the full info glibc-2.3 - 2.4 - there was something about that too, I forget... The update to python-2.5 had a specific procedure (?) And there was a portage update as well with a change in on-disk format. This one caught me, as an upgrade path was maintained for several versions, then dropped. My upgrade fell in that window. But that was way back in the early 2.0 versions, I think you will be safe. Oddly, kde-3.5.7 to 3.5.8 recently was a pain for me. I hadn't updated in two months and the first emerge world failed about 8 times, all on kde stuff. It felt as if the DEPENDS were evaluated in the wrong order as emerge --resume --skipfirst allowed it to continue. Then I would emerge world again with less failures, and do it again. IIRC it took 4 runs thorough, but once it was done everything did seem to work correctly. With long intervals between updates like you have here, I prefer to make a quickpkg of vital system stuff (gcc, glibc, python, portage, bash) as a safety measure, then run emerge -pvuND system and update those vital packages manually - the reason is to force me to look at the portage output and not miss important messages. Then emerge the rest of system followed by the rest of world.

Router1 needs a route to point back to PC2 so when traffic bound for it comes it, it'll know what to do with it. route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.23 Also if you want PC2 to access the net, you would need PC1 to be smart enough to route/NAT packets from PC2 to Router 1.

Sorry if hijacking the thread, but: it's a long time I have expat-1.9.6 and, even if 2.0.1 is in portage, emerge -av world doesn't tell me to upgrade (I guess emerge -Dav would, but why should I?). Should I do nonetheless, or can I wait? I find emerge -uND world every so often is a good idea, as updates are then incremental and I can deal with problems one at a time instead of lots all at once. I don't know of any good reason why you *should* upgrade to expat-2.0.1 right now, other than simply staying up to date. Be prepared to become good friends with revdep-rebuild when you *do* do it, the upgrade caused huge numbers of broken linkages to libexpat.so.0 alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
