 Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 7:05 am Post subject: "non-existent set" in world ? |
 |
|
Hi having spent the last four days running emerge commands I now find portage barfing with an error:
| Code: | em -uDvt world
emerge: the given set 'world' contains a non-existent set named 'lxde-lite'. |
I last ran this command followed by a number of repeats of the following to skip packages that were failing to build:
| Code: | | 'emerge --resume --skipfirst |
The last operation I did before the problem manifested was
That seemed to have worked without problems but now "world" is somehow corrupted.
What is all this about ?
TIA, Gentree.

See if your /var/lib/portage/world file contains lxde-lite ?
I can't seem to find lxde-lite as an ebuild (at least in the default/standard portage tree)... Maybe it went away?
Time to unmerge it (or remove from world manually) and re-emerge something else... perhaps the full version of lxde?

No, it's not something in the world file.
Note it says it is a "class" , I don't know where the class world if defined.
I also redid an emerge --sync but it did not change anything.
I can't figure out how this crept in since earlier this a.m .

quoting this forum thread

this is where sets get added to the world list.
Sets support has been added to stable portage now. You most likely have installed the lxde-lite set using portage-2.2 in the past. So now it is resurfacing.
There is also a config option somewhere to tell portage whether to include sets as part of world or not.

dol-sen , spot on , it was in there. But I have not used 2.2 it's masked, so I don't know how that happened.
zmedico, that fixed it , thanks.
One more annoyance cleared up.
