  • [gentoo-user] Trying to emerge rust. It crashed. Now I get circular dep

    From Alan Mackenzie@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 30 18:10:01 2025
    Hello, Gentoo.

    While updating my old machine (a 1st generation Ryzen), I was 42 minutes through the emerge of rust when it crashed. This is probably due to the
    known hardware error in early Ryzen chips.

    So I tried

    # emerge --resume

    , which gave me a few lines of emerge messages followed by:

    * Error: Circular Dependencies

    (dev-lang/rust-1.84.1-r1:1.84.1/1.84.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
    (dev-lang/rust-1.84.1-r1:1.84.1/1.84.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge (build time)

    [ Message copied by hand from old machine to new machine running email ]

    I'm not happy about this. I tried to unmerge that partial version of
    rust, but just got further error messages.

    How can I unwedge portage in this situation?

    Thanks!

    Well, I tried

    # emerge -auND @world

    again, and it seems to be working, including attempting to build rust
    again.

    I'd still be interested to find out what caused the bug in emerge
    --resume.

    Thanks!
