 |
|
I ran a sync this morning and then ran the good ole `emerge -uDav world`, but got the following (baffling, to me) errors:
| Code: | root:andrew$ emerge -Duav world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies -Traceback (most recent call last):

What does this mean? The only thing I've done recently that seems pertinent and major was to switch my running kernel to love-sources. |

I'd try deleting all files in /usr/portage/distfiles/ then re 'emerge sync' and try over again. I've seen this before but I cant remember how to fix it.

Blindspy, I'd appreciate if you (or anyone else) could confirm whether this is the same thing as this bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41869
I meant to add that link here when I found it.
Otherwise, is deleting /usr/portage/distfiles/* safe? |

It may be the same. Please try emerge -duD world to see at what point the traceback occurs and if it is the same kind of nested conditional dependency problem. The bug activity log doesn't indicate that the bug was ever marked as resolved fixed so there is a chance that it is only fixed in 2.0.51.
Cleaning the distfiles directory is safe, but if you have a download cap or low bandwith it may not be what you want to do. You may want to use distclean (or eclean), though, as it only removes distfiles for uninstalled package versions.
