require echo='echo' to emerge

[ainsley31415926]

Recently I have had to add echo='echo' in order to emerge some packages.

 

 

for example with

emerge  dev-libs/libxml2

 

I get lots of errors such as

./libtool: line 941: X--tag=CC: command not found
./libtool: line 941: X--mode=compile: command not found
./libtool: line 1252: X-DHAVE_CONFIG_H: command not found
./libtool: line 1252: Xx86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
 

 

etc

 

But if I do this:

echo='echo' emerge  dev-libs/libxml2

 

It emerges without problems.

I'm goingslightly mad :(

this is pretty much happens often with portage unable to solve conflicts. Daniel is working on improving this, notice that during many years portage developers didn't actually tried to fix it. For this particular problem:

akonadi cannot work with maridab-10.2, and 10.2 is the version you have installed on your box. if you put maridab-10.2 into package.mask, it will solve.

Recently I have had to add echo='echo' in order to emerge some packages.

 

 

for example with

emerge  dev-libs/libxml2

 

I get lots of errors such as

./libtool: line 941: X--tag=CC: command not found

./libtool: line 941: X--mode=compile: command not found

./libtool: line 1252: X-DHAVE_CONFIG_H: command not found

./libtool: line 1252: Xx86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found

 

 

etc

 

But if I do this:

echo='echo' emerge  dev-libs/libxml2

 

It emerges without problems.

its not possible to get a clue about this failure and why echo='echo' fixes. paste build.log of libxml2 failure.

I have had this issue with several emerge's

 

Here is the issue with

dev-db/sqlite-3.19.3::core-kit

 

sqlite.txt is the build log

 

 echo='echo' emerge dev-db/sqlite
works

 

sqlite.txt

emergeinfo.txt

emergepqv.txt

environment.txt

Thanks oleg, masking 10.2 fixed it for me. And gentoo install has same issue and will mask there also.
