What is this gnustep-gui I apparently need? |

I see the same error, on emerge sync with two different
rsync sources. There is no reference to need-gnustep
in ebuild.sh
This just happened tonight for the first time on
two of my systems.
greping for the application/script, I see it
referenced in a few ebuilds under /usr/portage:
app-gnustep/easydiff/easydiff-0.1.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
app-gnustep/talksoup/talksoup-0.81.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
eclass/gnustep-old.eclass:need-gnustep-gui() {
gnustep-apps/easydiff/easydiff-0.1.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
gnustep-apps/talksoup/talksoup-0.81.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
{... possibly more - grep not finished yet} |

Judging by the other posts tonight, I think it's safe to say that portage is under the weather? |

I'll just put a "ditto" in here. emerge sync does seem to complete, but I've gotten this problem on two different boxes.

same here on x86 (stable)...
Emerge sync terminated, but I am worried about the state of my portage cache right now. Perhaps it is better if others do not sync, until some dev comments on the issue. |

|

i finally work thru the bugs in the apache, tcl and PHP ebuilds - finished all that last night, and get the whole thing to build .. so i figure to check if anything changed in the last 4 days and do emerge sync. surprize surprize .. NOT!
someone(s) submitted a whole bunch of broken ebuilds in the last couple of days and now emerge -u world wants to download another gigabyte of files - but it cant because whoever was playing with the PHP ebuild has totoally hosed it up and it spits out errors about the php-4.3.2 ebuild that i thought was completely removed from my system.
that was last night .. this morning, hoping that some nice person in a North American timezone had fixed the problem i did emerge sync again, and now i have the problem reported in this thread and portage is totally hosed up by another bug.
man oh man this stuff pisses me off. i see lots of testimonials from people about how good the gentoo release is, and how responsive the forums are .. i say it would be a damn site better if these forums were dead because noone had problems with installing. In the last 2 years i have never had a clean emerge -u .. always bugs in the ebuilds to solve.
is anyone testing on a range of platforms before inflicting bad product on us .. or are we signing up to be alpha testers by downloading the LiveCD?

I had quite a lot of fine "emerge -u"'s. I'd even say the average ebuild quality has gotten a lot better since last year.

I guess you've never been an alpha tester then . |

Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 10:01 am Post subject: redundant portage package groups |
|
|
One problem is that the package groups gnustep-apps and
app-gnustep appear to be redundant. Looking at the modification
dates I might guess that gnustep-apps is the later one
and the other one should be removed.
It seems that the "line 7" reference must be to one of these ebuilds:
Code: |
app-gnustep/easydiff/easydiff-0.1.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
app-gnustep/talksoup/talksoup-0.81.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
eclass/gnustep-old.eclass:need-gnustep-gui() {
gnustep-apps/easydiff/easydiff-0.1.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
gnustep-apps/talksoup/talksoup-0.81.ebuild:need-gnustep-gui
|
which have this on line 7 of the ebuild:
My Sun Sparc gentoo box, which has not emerge sync'ed in
the last 24 hours has no package group called app-gnustep.
But being a different platform, I don't know if that is significant. |

I'm having the same problem, and my package cache seems corrupted. Emacs now reports as not installed (and I'm using it daily...), and I get Package in world file is not installed errors when running emerge.
Anybody know what the best course of action is? _________________ Gwendolyn |

I would suggest putting easydiff and talksoup to the package filter, and than emerge sync again. |

I suspect that the emacs problem is unrelated (but just suspect). On my machine the emacs problem appeared a couple of days ago, may be yesterday. Definitely before I did emerge sync this morning (though there is a slight little chance that emerge sync had problem before, and I just missed the message).
In any case I suggest you drop a comment in the thread on emacs-21.3-r3, so that it gets more attention. This way we at least know that it is not specific to some single machine (you are the third person I hear about).
Finally there was this post on gentoo user mailing list today (thread "portage problems"):
Quote: | Another emerge sync should fix it. I don't know the details, but the problem was noted and fixed a couple of hours ago; something about a deleted eclass function.
|
I tried and it did not help, but perhaps mirrors were not up-to-date yet. The rsync finished with the same error message about gnustep. Can anybody else try and report if it helps?

I'm taking care of the new GNUstep ebuilds; to make a long story short, the old ones where very antiquated and such. In July or so, I used epkgmove to move the GNUstep ebuilds to new categories in the tree; I'm not sure if it was a bug or something, but app-gnustep category did not get removed.
To fix this: Code: | # su -
# rm -Rf /usr/portage/app-gnustep
# emerege --sync <-- (or rsync, whatever works for you) |
... after doing this, you should notice the app-gnustep category has not reappeared.
Why an rsync didn't remove the category, I do not know. _________________ jñanam bandha |

I tried your tip on blowing away the old package group from /usr/portage
and then doing "emerge sync" again.
I get these errors:

This seems to have worked for me. Thanks a lot! Would be good to figure out what the general problem was, though. So that it will not happen again.

Have not you mistakenly removed more than just app-gnustep? (no that I am sure that this would hurt. Probably depending on what you have removed.).

I suspect that something was refreshed on the rsync server
at around the top of the hour (which is the window in which this
is supposed to happen). I ran emerge sync again and it
performed without an error. |

I am still unable to emerge anything. The last time I ran "emerge sync" I also got the errors of "Failed cache update" for a whole ton of packages. When I attempt to "emerge -u portage" I get a bunch of errors about "Error in <packagename> Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild."
If I attempt an emerge sync now, I get a message that I am up to date and do not need to sync. So I can't sync to get the latest info and I can't emerge anything.
<update>
I was able to emerge sync again, but am still getting the "Failed cache update" for all packages. |

throck-
the mirrors will start denying you after the 2nd rsync or so a day -- you really only need to do this once a day at most -- so this may be the cause of your errors.
and just for clarity: Code: |
emerge rsync <-- portage 2.0.50
emerge --sync <-- portage 2.0.51_* series |
...these are not really "emerge sync" which is a different animal altogether.
Edit: actually, re-reading your post, yeah, the "error failed package check" or whatever, is a classic sign that the mirror is denying you ... chill out for a day withthe rsync's man ... just wait a day, and try an emerge rsync ... if that then fails badly ... well, we'll be here _________________ jñanam bandha |
