[gentoo-user] virtual/libstdc++ keeps trying to pull in gcc-3.3 :(
I did an emerge --update --newuse world and it keeps trying to build gcc-3.3.4 and ends in errors. Upon further inspection, I found that I already have gcc-4.1.1-r3. Everything was working prior to that, and I couldn't understand why it kept asking for gcc-3.3. I went through a whole lot of equeries and headbanging to find the package that wanted gcc-3.3. libstdc++ itself didn't seem to want it, but im not that good at reading ebuilds just yet. I checked the ebuild of virtual/libstdc++ and it gives me an rdepends of = gcc-3.3.* But I already have >gcc-4.1. Nothing seemed to be not working with my system then prior to the upgrade. So I made an overlay with anrdepends of =gcc-3.3. I continued trying to emerge and voila gcc-3.3 wasnt in the list anymore. I wonder if I'll break something this way. playing with libstdc++ sounds scary, but I don't want to compile gcc when I already have a working one. any ideas why virtual/libstdc++ asks specifically for 3.3? And was it a bad idea for me to do what I just did? -- thing.

Add --tree to the above emerge command. > I checked the ebuild of virtual/libstdc++ and it gives me an rdepends > of = gcc-3.3.* The full depend is RDEPEND="|| ( =sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3* =sys-devel/gcc-3.3* )" This means either =sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3* or =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*. If neither is installed the first listed will be used. this indicates that you already have gcc-3.3* installed. If you have nothing that needs it (very few packages fail to compile on 4.1 now), you can unmerge gcc-3.3 and the next emerge world will install sys-libs/libstdc++ instead. equery list gcc will show you exactly which gcc packages you have installed. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 18: Taped live signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So I think the more elegant solution is to install sys-libs/libstdc++, unmerge my overlayed virtual/libstdc++, delete my overlayed virtual/libstdc++, then reemerge --oneshot virtual/libstdc++ again, this time using the one in the portage tree. I don't think I can just delete my overlay before then or it might fess up unmerging. -- thing.

Do you already have sys-libs/libstdc++ installed? If you had, you wouldn't need GCC 3.3. In fact, I have a feeling the packages are mutually exclusive as both provide libstdc++. Just remove your overlayed version, remove any installed versions of gcc-3.3* and update world again. > I don't think I can just delete my overlay before then > or it might > fess up unmerging. It won't. unmerging doesn't use the ebuild in the portage tree but the one saved in /var/db/pkg when the package was merged. -- Neil Bothwick I don't work here.

That's kind of the point of bug #161953. It picks gcc-3.3* because gcc-4* is already installed. Portage interprets that as an indicator that you prefer gcc despite that's hardly the case. The solution is to manually merge libstdc++-v3. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161953 -- Bo Andresen pgpLG3XtFqMSm.pgp Description: PGP signature
