Hi,
Im trying to run emerge --update --deep --newuse world and got the following error. I tried to search but there seems to be no similar problem. Can someone help me solve it?

Code:
>>> Installing (1 of 47) app-admin/eselect-qtgraphicssystem-1.1.1

Can you access /var at all? Try
Code:

echo test > /var/cache/edb/foo ; cat /var/cache/edb/foo

and post the output.

I'm assuming that you checked that you haven't run out of space or inodes (where applicable). Test with df -k and df -i respectively.

Hi,
I have checked the inodes and space usage, they're 56% and 55% respectively.
I can access the foo file as you suggested too:

Code:
test

naviehuynh,

Try eix-sync && emerge portage. If you don't have eix installed then emerge --sync && emerge portage.

Then check the permissions of counter
Code:
xen edb # stat /var/cache/edb/counter
  File: '/var/cache/edb/counter'
  Size: 4            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file

naviehuynh,

It looks like a misssng version of python :?

See if emerge -av =dev-lang/python-2.7.3-r2 takes care of it :wink:

Look at the messages just before the failure
Code:
checking for /usr/bin/python2.7 script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking for /usr/bin/python2.7 extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
configure: error: Python headers not found

Not found provides the crucial clue :wink:

naviehuynh,

Since I've never encountered so many errors with an emerge update I suspect something else is awry here.

Did you set your profile to desktop or desktop/gnome etc. :?: Not having the necessary use flags set will cause unusual errors. If you haven't set it, please do so now.

I also see a check for x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.1 when x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 is the latest stable version. Did you add packages to package.accept_keywords or change ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf :?:

Mixing repos can cause errors if you're not careful :wink:

Paste back emerge --info to get a better idea of how your setup is configured.

hmm, I guess you still remember this thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-946314.html).

I needed to install KDE (Stable version or not, whatever is ok, I just need to get Gentoo work first and learn further later).
So I added this line to package.use

Code:
dev-python/PyQt4 webkit declarative sql script


and created accept_keywords file with following content:
Code:
sys-fs/udev
sys-apps/kmod
sys-apps/hwids
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
virtual/udev

In addition, I added
Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

to the make.conf file
I wonder if I should add the line ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", I was lazy back then, so I think something global might slow down my gentoo but at least could run =|

And then more issues appear as you see in this thread. What should I do now?
btw, here is the emerge --info you asked for:

Code:

naviehuynh,

Yep, those changes introduced a myriad of inconsistencies :?

The accept_keywords file should look something like this:
Code:
#required by git-sources (argument)
sys-kernel/git-sources  ~amd64
#required by sci-geosciences/googleearth-6.0.3.2197, required by =sci-geosciences/googleearth-6.0.3.2197 (argument)
=dev-util/patchelf-0.6 ~amd64
#required by =sci-geosciences/googleearth-6.0.3.2197 (argument)
=sci-geosciences/googleearth-6.0.3.2197 ~amd64

I don't see any 'keywords' in yours :?

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" really did you in - now you're in the testing (unstable) repos which is probably not what you expected or wanted for that matter.

I suspect though that you might be pulling udev, kmod and udev-init-scripts from the x86 repo since you're not specifying any in package.accept_keywords.

To see if things improve, remove all the entries in package.accept_keywords, cross your fingers and try emerge -uavDN @world

Yeah, I didn't really understand keywords back then, so I made a "stupid" package.accept_keywords file :@)
So, just to confirm I dont mistake anything, x86 and ~x86 are different: x86 is the stable trunk while ~x86 is the testing branch
I was in the x86 branch in the first place, since I chose to install KDE "emerge -av kde-meta", it asked for some packages in ~x86. So I just need to declare some keywords for those packages
However, what I did was to add ~x86 to the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf file and I was like switching to the ~x86 branch. Is it also the reason why emerge --update takes such long time to finish (several hours with 320+ packages)?
What should I do now? Is it possible to switch back to either x86 or ~x86? Or is it to late to rescue things and I have to re-install Gentoo from beginning :O

I couldn't have explained it better myself :D I think it's best to stay in ~x86 at this point.

All your current errors appear to be python related so try this first:
Code:
xen portage # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
  [2]   python3.2


Set it to 2.7 with eselect python set 1 as it would be #1 in the example above.

If you made any USE changes in make.conf, undo them and make sure the accept.keywords file is empty.

Then run python-updater

If that works then emerge portage again

If the above doesn't pan out there's always unpacking the stage3 and portage tarballs, but we're trying to avoid that at this point :wink:

BillWho,
Python update stops when adding the "file" packages.
Recently I ran into another problem with my root partition. It says something is corrupted while mounting /dev/sda8 and repairing with e2fsck can temporarily solve the problem, but it just randomly happens over and over again. I guess I should start over, from re-formatting the partition properly. I know it's a bad habit to re-install everything to solve a problem, but I messed up with the keywords anyway, even when I can find a workaround this time, there will be likely many other problems in the future.

I just wanna say thank you very much! I will certainly have more issues later with the new Gentoo installation; I hope I can receive your help in other threads, see ya :D

Code:
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 734, in _aux_get
    raise KeyError(mycpv)
KeyError: 'app-admin/eselect-pinentry-0.3'


It looks like there was more filesystem corruption. The above error indicates it did not find eselect-pinentry in the installed db.

It would be in /var/db/pkg/app-admin/eselect-pinentry-0.3. There should be a number of files in that directory. You should have a look through that whole installed /var/db/pkg subdir system. Look for more unusual/bad files, etc..
