 |
|
hi,
i'm a little bit confused right now. i was on vacation for 3 weeks an didn't update my server. so now after this "long"  time i started | Code: | | # emerge -avuD world |
as i use to do. after some time emerge stopped with a message (sorry i accidentally closed the terminal) that a package couldn't be downloaded. i tried to run | Code: | | # emerge -avuD world |
again. This is what i get:
| Code: | # emerge -avuD world
import: unable to open X server `' @ import.c/ImportImageCommand/367.
/usr/bin/emerge: line 8: try:: command not found
import: unable to open X server `' @ import.c/ImportImageCommand/367.
/usr/bin/emerge: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/bin/emerge: line 11: ` def exithandler(signum,frame):' |
i looked at the emerge history with genlop:

as you can see, python was the last updated (the version installed before was dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2), so i think this might be related to this. i tried to run emerge like this:
| Code: | | # python /usr/bin/emerge -avuD world |
which works quiet ok. but when emerge calls "ebuild" it fails (unsurprisingly) again:
| Code: | Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Starting parallel fetch
>>> Emerging (1 of 42) app-admin/python-updater-0.7
[Errno 8] Exec format error:
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/python-updater/python-updater-0.7.ebuild fetch

if i run "ebuild" by hand i get the same error:
| Code: | # /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/python-updater/python-updater-0.7.ebuild fetch
import: unable to open X server `' @ import.c/ImportImageCommand/367.

/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild: line 11: ` def exithandler(signum,frame): |
as i said: i'm clueless how i could fix this problem... any hint is appreciated.
thx, simon

not python-update problem
its the /usr/bin/python shell wrapper which has been introduced as a means for multiple python ABI

its actually the same problem for all these emerge/python problems
previously /usr/bin/python was a symlink to /usr/bin/python2.6 (controlled via eselect python set ...)
HOWEVER since python3 has entered the tree and as python3 app's also start coming in its no longer possible to just patch a python script for the slight breakages between python-2.x & python-2.x+1
basically python-2.x and python-3.x are going to have to live side by side for quite some time - throw into the mix the fact that there are still apps that only work with python-2.4 (I am looking at you plone!!!) and suddenly some mechanism to sanely manage multiple python ABI's are needed
the dev's came up with using a wrapper script for /usr/bin/python (its just a bash script) and eselect python then sets the default. An envionemental variable EPYTHON can then be used to set what python a script is to use
I personally think a few bits are missing from this multiABI thing but as a 1st stab when it isn't really a nessacity is great!!

Thanks Naib for your very nice explanation. I understand now how all that works (at least on the surface).
The python-3.1 is masked here for now. And I do have that /usr/bin/python wrapper script, and python 2.6.
So far no issues here.  |

Two possible ways to fix it
1) upgrade your kernel to 2.6.30-r* (it is the kernel that deals with the shebangs and something within the 2.6.30 line allows cascaded shebangs via scripts)
2) rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python (a hack but it will work)
Gentoo dev's are working on a /usr/bin/python being a symlink to a binary program ( /usr/bin/python-wrapper ) to bypass this cascaded shebang issue
They are also masking the present eselect-python (the one which generate a bash script for /usr/bin/python) and reverting to the symlink method until this is fixed
