Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2002 3:42 pm Post subject: 1.3b stage1 emerge error |
|
|
I took the 1.3a iso image (as no 1.3b image was available), and booted and formatted the partitions. I then took the 1.3.b stage1 tarball, and untarred it (versus the 1.3a stage 1).
at that point, I did the chroot, and then tried to do env-update. I get an emerge error, pointing to some lines in python.
What is the proper way to get 1.3b from scratch ? |

As you already said - there is no 1.3b iso yet.
But you can burn the 1.3b tbz2 and boot from 1.3a and when you copy the stage1 from cd you just don't copy the 1.3a but the 1.3b tbz2
Never did so myself but that should work, please correct me if it doesn't (very unlikely) |

Scandium that's what I did, but the b version does not work at all. It can't even run "emerge". I get probably the same error message as Stubby did. I don't remember by heart. It was something to do with python.could not run. I think you'd better check it yourself, before you post it on the ftp server

I had this as well. It seems that 1.3b needs the contents of /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0-gcc3 to even perform the initial emerge rsync.
Luckilly I was able to ftp these files across from another box - the 1.3b install then went extremely smoothly. |

That is exactly what I said I did! I booted the 1.3a, and then did a wget on the 1.3b stage1, and untared it instead of the 1.3a stage1. However, it wont run at all, the inital env-update fails, and all attempts to emerge fail as well. |

The exact error is:
/# env-update
>>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/env-update", line 3, in ?
import portage
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3353, in ?
usedefaults=grabfile(profiledir+"/use.defaults")
TypeError: unsupported operand types for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'
The problem is the missing '/usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0-gcc3/make.defaults', of course the error message could be nicer as well. Copy the following into that file and you won't get the error:

1.3b stage1 wouldnt work, I had to use a 1.3a stage 3.
Ive had no luck with 1.3x stage1 on amd with gcc3.1 -march=athlon-xp
Same errors for the 1.3b, figured it was still too beta. |

chrb You are da man. I copied your text into make.defaults and it started work immediately.
What I don't understand is that why and how the person who created this tarball did not check this elementary problem. I know that it is beta. But beta does not mean that it should not work at all. I think this careless behaviour can damage gentoo's reputation very much.
