Hi to all !

Anyone helps?

I just had the same problem. It seems to be due to existing /usr/bin/python2.2 file (even though I unmerged python2.2).
I removed the file and portage emerged correctly (It may be a better idea to set this file as a symlink to python2.3).

[Genone]

which python version ?
output of `ls -l /usr/lib/python2.?/os.*`

[mhodak]

In my case:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/lib/python2.?/os.*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        21019 Jan 24 19:53 /usr/lib/python2.3/os.py
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        25983 Jan 24 19:53 /usr/lib/python2.3/os.pyc
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        25983 Jan 24 19:53 /usr/lib/python2.3/os.pyo

Recently, I upgraded from python2.2 to 2.3, I have run python-update script and unmerged 2.2. Did not have any problems until updating to new portage (other updates worked fine). Why /usr/bin/python2.2 was left on my system and why it caused problems now is beyond my understanding.

[gatiba]

This is the output:

Code: Select all

sh-2.05b$ ls -l /usr/lib/python2.?/os.*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        21019  7 feb 15:21 /usr/lib/python2.3/os.py

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        25983  7 feb 15:21 /usr/lib/python2.3/os.pyo

On a Gentoo System at work portage emerged fine.

I can't understand what happens on my home system...

[Genone]

Can you run 'python -c "import os"' on the box in question without erros ?

[gatiba]

I solved emerging first Python-2.2.3-r5 (2.3.3 was already merged).
After this i emerged portage-2.0.50-r1 without errors!!

[ayssaver]

Well... it not solved problem in my case. I still got error messages while emerging portage-2.50-r1 and none of portage commands work . Could anybody say WHY all this is happening? Maybe then I'll work out solution myself, cause I didn't find any working for me on any forums . Worst of all, I'm green with python ...

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./emerge", line 14, in ?
    import portage
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6394, in 
    for y in db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.xmatch("match-all", x):
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4705, in xmatch
    myval=match_from_list(mydep,self.cp_list(mykey))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3539, in match_from_list
    raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s) (try adding an '=')" % (mydep)
KeyError: "Specific key requires an operator (sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.0) (try adding an '=')"

This is stderr from emerge, etc-update and all others.

[Genone]

broken entry in the world file or in one of the /etc/portage files

[ayssaver]

world file is updated with emerge sync or sth like that? Because i did it many times.
In /etc/portage only file is package.unmask and it contains only sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.0 .

New ideas... I don't have linux-headers-2.6.0 ... but 2.6.3-r1 . But I don't know where to change it for python scripts (as emerge). Maybe that's problem...

[BobDoLe]

i just fixed my problem.

i went to /etc/portage

and hey you know that file that never existed there.. package.unmask ??

well i deleted whatever was in it.
so if yours has

linux-headers-2.6.0 in it... delete it

i hope this helps someone out somewhere down the line.

[0ctane]

hmmm...
I do not even have a /etc/portage file or directory.

I think the actual fix has to do with python 2.3. The process is looking for python 2.2 while python 2.3 is also installed. If you make a symlink to python 2.2, everything works fine.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/bin
mv python2.2 python2.2.old
ln -s python2.3 python2.2

Then emerge portage.

That worked for me
