There is a serious error in Portage 2.0.49-r18 that causes all emerge -uvp to fail with the following error:

Code:

emerge -u --deep world
Calculating world dependencies |Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2170, in ?
    if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1011, in xcreate
    myeb=portage.portdb.xmatch("bestmatch-visible",mydep)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4065, in xmatch
    myval=best(self.xmatch("match-visible",None,mydep,mykey))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4076, in xmatch
    myval=self.match2(mydep,mykey,self.xmatch("list-visible",None,mydep,mykey))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4062, in xmatch
    myval=self.gvisible(self.visible(self.cp_list(mykey)))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4145, in gvisible
    myaux=db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mycpv, ["KEYWORDS"])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3822, in aux_get
    writemsg(str(red("\naux_get():")+" (0) Error in "+mycpv+" ebuild. ("+str(ret)+")\n"
NameError: global name 'ret' is not defined


The solution is as follows:

1. Edit /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py and go to line 3822

2. Change
writemsg(str(red("\naux_get():")+" (0) Error in "+mycpv+" ebuild. ("+str(ret)+")\n"
to
writemsg(str(red("\naux_get():")+" (0) Error in "+mycpv+" ebuild. ("+str(myret)+")\n"

3. Save the changes.

I'm getting a similar issue here:
Code:

root@palomino root $ emerge -upv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Here is the output of emerge info:

Hum. I started getting this sort of output when running emerge after my system crashed (don't ask, 2.6 twiddling) during emerge sync:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6, in ?
    import os,sys,portage,emergehelp,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,shutil,traceback
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4353, in ?
    do_vartree()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4341, in do_vartree
    if not virts_p.has_key(vkeysplit[1]):
IndexError: list index out of range


Note, this happens with every possible action, even just a plain 'emerge' with no arguments.
Any ideas?

Ahh, my problem got solved with removing the current portage tree (figures) and untarring the snapshot from the installation livecd.

So, what's the consensus? I'm using portage 2.0.49-r15 right now with no problems, on an ~x86 system. Everytime I do an emerge sync, I get the update portage lines. Should I update to -r18, or is that going to risk bork my Gentoo? From what I'm reading, r18 may have problems.I need to do a world update, but am fairly worried about the amount of packages, and especially things like gcc and glibc. I like to stay up-to-date, but do I really need all these updates, or would I be likely to foul things up? I installed kde3.2-beta2 fine, so I don't need the kde 3.1.4.

What danger is there in doing them individually, instead of all at one time, and not doing gcc and glibc, mozilla, and kde, etc., at all?

Thanks,
wrc1944

I'm getting the same error as 'the_Shrike' - and I'd prefer to avoid his/her solution of removing the entire /usr/portage tree and replacing it with the tarball on the live cd.... I may do that, though. Any other ideas?

Code:

Note, this happens with every possible action, even just a plain 'emerge' with no arguments.
Any ideas?

Literal data: 7889 bytes
Matched data: 11708 bytes
File list size: 1532013
Total bytes written: 2808
Total bytes read: 1542836

wrote 2808 bytes  read 1542836 bytes  5865.82 bytes/sec
total size is 53743645  speedup is 34.77

How I can "reinstal" emerge?

I get the same py error. I was on #gentoo on irc but my windoze machine messed up, there was a hint to edit one of my source pointers (sym link) but I don't know how to fix this...

Any hints ?

I just reemerged portage (from portage-2.0.49-r18 to the same version), and now I don't see the problem anymore.

Worth a shot anyway.

If you can re-emerge portage, you don't have the same problem. :)

I got this:
Code:
root@theJoker files # emerge -Uv python
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
Calculating dependencies ...done!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2153, in ?

  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1098, in modifying

so portage.py gives an error, the thing does not even exist

Code:

root@theJoker rik # ls -al /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py
ls: /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py: No such file or directory


I've found this thread because I've problems with the portage. You can read my post "emerge" broken after doing "emerge portage&a I also seem to have problems with the different versions in "emerge --version" (2.0.50_pre3) and "emerge search portage" (latest installed is 2.0.49-r15) I'm lost..

ok, we have a lot of different errors here, lets do them one by one:
RikBlankestijn: looks like you played with the _pre series and messed somthing up, remove /usr/lib/portage/pym completely and re-emerge portage (you have some leftover .pyc files there that don't play well with your version of emerge).
shakti: please see bug 31901
irasnyd, gncuster: check your PORTDIR_OVERLAY for misnamed ebuilds

For the other errors please check https://bugs.gentoo.org and report them there if there aren't any reports yet.

My problem was solved when I did the rescue procedure and emerged the latest (unstable) portage again. I will sertainly try the above next time I have an issue like this again. Thanks for your comment.

One more thing. When I like to do "emerge -e world" it always wants to downgrade the portage. I don't like that. Why not just -e everything again just as it is currently installed?? Because after he's finished with the portage downgrade the portage is broken.
