[gentoo-user] Portage broken by emerge --sync
I was runnning a "emerge --sync" and portage died at the end: deleting app-accessibility/gnome-mag/files/digest-gnome-mag-0.11.11 deleting app-accessibility/gnome-mag/files/digest-gnome-mag-0.10.4 Number of files: 113281 Number of files transferred: 2980 Total file size: 88664800 bytes Total transferred file size: 5950431 bytes Literal data: 5950431 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 2551394 Total bytes written: 59781 Total bytes read: 8636699 wrote 59781 bytes read 8636699 bytes 80897.49 bytes/sec total size is 88664800 speedup is 10.20 >>> Updating Portage cache: 100% Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/1Q-2005 (Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.) .='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move' s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*' [EMAIL PROTECTED] (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2630, in ? reload(portage) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7241, in ? do_upgrade(mykey) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7132, in do_upgrade db["/"]["vartree"].dbapi.move_ent(mysplit) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4555, in move_ent fixdbentries(origcp, newcp, pkgdir) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3837, in fixdbentries f = open(dbdir+"/"+myfile, "r") IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory And now everything falls over.

I followed the suggested workaround of moving libgcc_s.a in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=84803&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25&sid=28c4e3c9a33ac8d51fc7a94ce5e6a3c1 - this made my gcc work. I then manually unpacked python and installed it, and it worked. Then the rescue archive of portage allowed me to get a working portage. I am now in the process of merging a working version of gcc, then python, and then I guess I should do my whole system. In light of this unfortunate incident, is there any easy way to choose ebuilds from ~x86 in general, but from x86 for some specific ebuilds that should "never be allowed to break"? I am thinking binutils, gcc, python, portage for example. I'm happy for my web browsers, irc clients and what not to be bleeding edge but unstable, but it kind of ruins my day when I merge a broken gcc that recompiles half my system and breaks it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That I can respect. Do you have a GRP cd? Worst comes to worst you could always just untar the .tbz2 packages you need, fix up your /var/db/pkg and /var/cache/edb/virtuals and then upgrade to what is safe (not gcc331-r2 at this stage ;-) Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If I had 4 days spare then I would probably reinstall. Also related is the fact that this is my desktop machine which I need to do my work on, and recently one of its (two) P3 700 CPUs died, so if I did start again I'd be recompiling everything with half the CPU power. I see what you're saying though. I agree that when you see people say things like "if no one can help me then I'm going back to windows" or something then you just think, "go back to windows then!" I just meant to show that I'm willing to try anything no matter how wacky in the hope of being able to recover from here without a total reinstall. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] portage broken
Hello, My galeon web browser mysteriously stopped working today. In an attempt to get it to work again, I did the following: emerge -euv galeon The idea was to recompile galeon and absolutely everything it depends upon. I had to stop the compilation at one point with a control-c, although this was at a point that should have been safe to do this. When I then tried to run emerge again, I got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 10, in ? from select import * ImportError: No module named select This happens whatever arguments I give to emerge, and obviously means that the python select module is for some reason not installed. Python was not the ebuild that I interrupted, so I am confused why this should be the case. So, I am now completely unable to run emerge to do anything else. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get a working portage setup now? I am sorry if this is explained in the forum, I am having difficulty viewing web pages at the moment due to having no working web browser (I have wget though!).
