I have a machine that hasn't been updated in quite awhile I turned it on today with the intention of possibly using it to replace an older MYthTV server that is going bad. First step would be eix-sync which is failing with only a message
problems running time emerge --sync Not much help there. Then I tried emerge -pvDuN world to see what state I left things after the last sync and get lots of messages like these: !!! A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.8e-r2.ebuild' !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-libs/openssl" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e-r1 (masked by: corruption) - dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e-r3 (masked by: corruption) Clearly the machine is unhappy about something. emerge -pv portage does this: <SNIP> \!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/usr/portage/app-arch/rpm2targz/rpm2targz-9.0-r4.ebuild' ... done!

Problem resolving dependencies for dev-lang/python !!! Depgraph creation failed. I'm not at all clear how to proceed as I've never had a Gentoo machine do anything like this. Any ideas much appreciated. I've been googling but haven't found a great answer yet. Thanks in advance. Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
