I found a old email from Neil, hope you see this, and I think I followed
it correctly but maybe I either missed something or things have changed
since those instructions were posted. What I'm wanting to do, update
gentoo-sources manually and remove them manually as well but running
emerge -auDN world doesn't pull in newer versions and --depclean leaves
the older versions alone as well. Following the email info, I ended up
with this:
root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets.conf
[kernels]
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
world-candidate = False
files = /usr/src
I do this.
I renamed this to gentoo-sources. Like this:
root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets.conf
[gentoo-sources]
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
world-candidate = False
files = /usr/src
root@fireball / #
root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets/kernels
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
root@fireball / #
But not this.
Removed that.
and this I've tried with and without:
root@fireball / # cat /var/lib/portage/world_sets
kernels
root@fireball / #
If you add the set to world_sets, it's the same as putting the kernel in world.
Removed that too.
This is what I get tho:
root@fireball / # emerge -auDN world
Error during set creation: Redefinition of set 'kernels' (sections:
'usersets', 'kernels')
That's because there's already a set called kernels - emerge --list-sets
will show you all of them. Just rename your set.
OK. Renamed as above and I get this now:
root@fireball / # emerge -auDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild NS ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.16.3:5.16.3::gentoo [5.6.7:5.6.7::gentoo, 5.10.46:5.10.46::gentoo, 5.14.15:5.14.15::gentoo, 5.15.17:5.15.17::gentoo] USE="-build -experimental -symlink" 120,568 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 120,568 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
It still wants to upgrade. Could it be that something is pulling it in
as a dependency or something? Am I still doing something wrong? This is
a update to the above:
root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets.conf
[gentoo-sources]
class = portage.sets.dbapi.OwnerSet
world-candidate = False
files = /usr/src
root@fireball / # cat /etc/portage/sets/kernels
cat: /etc/portage/sets/kernels: No such file or directory
root@fireball / # cat /var/lib/portage/world_sets
root@fireball / # root@fireball / # cat /var/lib/portage/world | grep kernel sys-kernel/dracut
#sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.10.46
#sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.14.15
#sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.15.17
#sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.6.7
sys-kernel/linux-firmware
root@fireball / #
Note the gentoo-sources is commented out, thought it might help.
Thoughts? Thanks.
