Hi Neil, Well, this is a new install. Used Stage3-i686-20170214.tar.bz2 There is nothing in package.accept_keywords that is currently installed (as far as I know - although it is possible that I might have added ~x86 to gcc, although in this instance I don't believe that i did) I have installed so

Sorry Alan, that results in no extra information from emerge. Still only gcc listed for installation - and nothing else. -- Phil On 7 March 2017 at 15:08, Alan McKinnon wrote: > On 07/03/2017 17:07, White, Phil wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm sorry. This is probably a really simple question. > > I h

[gentoo-user] Emerge @system causing gcc downgrade

Hi, I'm sorry. This is probably a really simple question. I have a new install of Gentoo. emerge -uDpv --newuse @system results in a new slot for gcc, *downgrading* the current version (from 5.4.0 to 4.9.4) No other package is selected for merging. Why??? What command line can I give to show why

Hello list, I remember someone (Dale?) some time ago being dismayed at the large number of packages that would be installed by emerge @system. Now I see what he meant: on this box 401 of the 1103 installed packages. I'd like to construct a set that would create a reliable basis for building the

[gentoo-user] Emerge system fails on libperl

Trying to do a new install on an x86. Got to the step "emerge --emptytree system" and it bombs on emerging libperl. Something about % not being in the target string. Does this sound familiar to someone, or do I need to poke around some more? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
