Hi,

since i tried to update portage from 1.8.8-r1 to a higher version i can't use it anymore. Using rescue files, copy new version, checking pyhton version etc doesn't work..

'ebuild x y' output:

Code:

!!! Portage had a problem processing this file:
!!! /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.34.ebuild
: command not found: 
: command not found:

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.34.ebuild: line 1': syntax error near unexpected token `{
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.34.ebuild: line 1': `src_unpack() {
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function , Line 772, Exitcode 1
!!! error sourcing ebuild
!!! aborting.


'emerge' output:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 296, in ?
    portage.portdb.freeze()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'portdb'

Maybe you should try an older version in the 2.0 series before going to Portage 2.0.35. Portage 1.8.8 is really old, and the upgrade path might not be simple any more.

Alternatively, you can look at /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE -- it might work.

Perhaps your install CD contains some older portage files?
