Software :: Circular Dependencies In Portage, File And Eselect?
Apr 17, 2011
I'm having some problems emerging things on my newly installed Gentoo box.Almost everything I try to emerge gets me stuck in this circular dependency with file and eselect:
Code:
(sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(app-admin/eselect-python-20100321, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(app-admin/eselect-1.2.11, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(sys-apps/file-5.05, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
I have set the USE flag "-python" on file, but it didn't break the loop.
Have the same problem and can't uninstall, seemingly due to circular dependencies among firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-branding and firefox-3.0-branding. how to break out of that?
I have a tricky problem which I could soIve with a c program. I wrote one and found I didnt have gcc so I tried to install it. I was told I needed to install packages. I acknowledged and an error was generated gcc-4.4.2-7.fc12.i686 requires libgomp = 4.4.2-7.fc12 I try to install libgomp and go round again.
I sort of asked this question in the arch linux forums since I was interested in arch but I still have yet to get a response (maybe it's too early).I wan't something like gentoo but without taking up unnecessary space like gentoo's portage does (/usr/portage/). I find that to be a serious flaw with gentoo. Yes you can use squashfs-unionfs to help but it requires some work especially when something goes wrong with portage.I was thinking about arch but can you use it completely as a source based distro? Some people seem to have said it requires scripting and some work from the user. I wan't something that'll do it for me so I can set it and forget it.
I heard about source mage linux and exherbo but I'm not sure what to think. I'm thinking about trying arch linux and source mage but perhaps there's other distro's I don't know about. I'd really like some suggestions.
I want to install RTAI in UBUNTU Lucid 10.04 in my PC which has not direct Internet connection. I download all packages for installing build-essential with another PC. I have installed all of them. But when I want to install g++-4.4, it depends to libstdc++6-4.4-dev and vice versa.
I was setting up an Ubuntu server for a client who runs a rather old version of Irix on an SGI O2 machine (he uses some design software that does not run on newer hardware). This version of Irix can only use NFS V2 or V3, so I setup the exports file on Ubuntu to use nfs3. However, when the file system was mounted on Irix, everything (including flat text files) was mounted as a directory, i.e. everything in the Ubuntu directory was mounted as a circular link to its' self After _much_ faffing about, I found that using nfs2 in the exports file fixed the problem, and the client was a happy camper again.
I am currently trying to upgrade over 100 rpms on multiple Red Hat servers. Whenever I try to do a rpm -u /packages/*.rpm i recieve a failed dependencies error on the very first rpm. I know that I can go though each rpm one by one and trace each dependency but that will take forever. Is there a way to skip these errors? I know the -nodeps command for rpm but I dont want to screw something up but running all of these rpms on -nodeps
I installed RHEL 5 on my desktop a few days back. I want to enjoy movies in my new OS. Some one told me to install mplyer caz it plays any file. So I decided to install it. I issued the following command:

As you can see yum is not resolving the dependencies.
I am using slackbuilds.org, linuxpackages.net, sBOpkg, slackyeu and very good source is www.slackfind.net for browsing and finding packages.
But sometimes when I download and Install package (with slapt-get or installpkg tool) I dont have all dependencies to run my software. Slapt-get can solve dependencies only if the are locate in repository.
Than, I start to find dependencies manually on high writed sites, but usually I cant find it. (Off course, only some packages).
Easy way is go to [url] and I can find 99% all of dependencies to my packages in rpm format and for various architectures.
I use rpm2tgz and just convert rpm to tgz and Install package as normal. 95% packages installed this way is working.
Where do you find dependencies you? Or, is anybody using rpm for solving dependencies too?
i'm can't install the g++ compiler. I've got the packages to install with the command "dpkg -i xxxx.deb", but i see a cross dependence between g++-4.3 and libstdc++6-4.3-dev. Or am I missing something?
i`m pretty new in Fedora 13 and linux as well. I installed a Fedora 13 xfce on an elder e series livebook. Then I tried to install the rpm packages for vlc from ATrpms - by Distribution > Fedora 13 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686.rpm
Quote: could not do simulate: vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libdca.so.0 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libavutil.so.50(LIBAVUTIL_50) vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libx264.so.92 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libfaad.so.2 vlc-1.0.6-53.fc13.i686 requires libavcodec.so.52
Recently i have installed some package from terminal..Now i want to make backup of all those packages for later use..But when i view /var/cache/apt/archives all those packages are combined and i dont know the way to seperate the package with its dependencies..If there is a way to find the dependencies of installed package,it might be useful..How to find it?
How to make simple games (snake, pong... nothing too fancy). I have completed making snake and now want to be able to distribute it. I built it using C++ and wxWidgets so it would be multi-platform. I'm able to compile it and run it in both Windows and Ubuntu using g++. In windows, I was able to distribute it by putting a *.dll file in the same folder as the executable. However in Linux, I don't understand what I need to do so that it would run on any installation of Ubuntu out of the "box". When I build it and try to run it in a different installation of Ubuntu (which has g++) it gives me an error saying that a particular library file was not found and Getlibs fails to find that library file.
Is there a way to build a project with G++ so that all the dependencies are either packaged in the executables or copied into the folder....?
I wanted to install an rpm package on two suse 10 systems. It installed successfully on one system but on the other it throws an error like
Code: error: Failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed by linuxProj-1-1.noarch
Now this means that rpnm package has no error but the rpm in itself is lacking some libs. So can anyone tell me that how can I download and add these libs to the already installed rpm. Note the difference between rpm and rpm package.
I have a problem with yum on fedora 11. When I ran yum install mplayer/vinagre.i586/ or whatever, It always process dependancies and then at some point returns an error like
or
I tried installing different applications but yum always comes with the above errors.

(System: RHEL 5.4 64 bit in virtualbox 3.1.4 on xp host)
Theres a package I'm going to install that is available only in 32-bit, but I have its dependencies installed as regular 64-bit. Since I'm multilib, will the 32-bit package be able to work with the 64-bit deps? If not, can 32-bit versions of the deps be installed side by side with the 64 bit?
I installed slackware 13.1 (64) but I didn't install kde because I am using fluxbox. Now I would like to install k3b. I have gslapt installed but there are no dependencies listed. The k3b website says that kde is a requirement but that can't be true. find the dependencies of the official slackware package. The slackware book does not seem to have that information.
seems like after a recent upgrade of stretch, i get a message (in italian)
Code: Select all $ sudo apt-get install kde-full Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto Generazione albero delle dipendenze Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti non sono ancora stati creati o sono stati rimossi da Incoming.

I usually install chromium from the frickelpatz repo. On one previous update I noticed that other packages that had not been installed from frickelpatz were updated with packages from there (i guess frickel had a higher version number - k3b i think the package was). So I would like to see what other packages it offers so I am aware of which packages are at risk. failing that is there a way to tell apt that i only want to use the repo for chromium and its dependencies?
I'm hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out (and find any information on) how to download a package and all its dependencies.I've tried to clean the cache,$ sudo apt-get clean and then download a package and its depednencies,but it doesn't download dependencies that are already installed.I need to do this to install a package on a machine that doesn't see the net.I remember doing this somehow ages ago, and I think I might have even combined the package and its dependencies into a single self-contained .deb using dpkg.
I have downloaded d4x download manager program but I do not know its dpendencies. I tried to install the single deb file with "Gdebi Package installer" but it showed an error of dependency. I downloaded that file too which itself could not be installed due to the same problem. The method of one by one file downloading was exhausting. Is there any program that accepts "d4x_2.5.7.1-5_amd64.deb" as input and givres me a full list of dependencies that must be saitisfied proior to installing the program with a single click? I want to give that list to a download manager.
I'm using Debian Stable and I followed the instructions from Debian Mozilla team [URL] on how to install the latest stable version of Iceweasel, but after I try to upgrade Iceweasel from Synaptic, it returns the following error message: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.
Iceweasel:
Depends: xulrunner-5.0 but it is not going to be installed
