 |
|
I have managed to corrupt my portage installation. I was emerging something that started to hang so I ran kill -9 on each process spawned by emerge to stop it (CTRL^C wouldn't work). Now when I try any command other than emerge --sync, emerge --regen or emerge --metadata I get the following errors: | Code: | garyspc ~ # emerge -avtuDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

The same error happens with the ebuild script. I have reinstalled portage manually but the error persists so I think it may be an issue with the files in /var/db/pkg (as that's where the metadata is being read from). I have compared the output of the files in this directory with the installation on my laptop and the files are the same. | Code: | garyspc ~ # emerge portage

Portage has never been very error resilient wrt. a defective package db. Please check, if your filesystem isn't corrupted, first. When your fs is fine (or fixed) do rm -rf /var/db/pkg/net-misc/netkit-talk-0.17-r4 and run FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge -1 =netkit-talk-0.17-r4 afterwards.
I don't know if Genone and the other Portage devs are interested in test cases, so you may backup the /var/db/pkg/net-misc/netkit-talk-0.17-r4 directory before.

| I ran fsck.ext3 on all my disks last night (all 640GB - took some time) and although nothing was reported as broken emerge now works again. Don't know why this happened or why it's now fixed but glad that it is! Thanks for all your help. |
