 |
|
Trying to update a gentoo box several years old, and following this link ... Manually fixing broken portage installation ... http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml
But get the following error.
| Code: |
root@local portage-2.1.6 # pwd
/root/portage-recover/portage-2.1.6
root@local portage-2.1.6 # ./bin/emerge
File "./bin/emerge", line 19
except PermissionDenied, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
|
Any ideas? |

Wizumwalt,
This thread is the closest we have to a guide.
Please post the output of emerge --sync so we can see just how old your system is.

I'm now running portage from a recovery install in my root home dir, but havent' been able to get anything working. Any advice, thanks.

# pwd

Wizumwalt,
| Code: | | # ./bin/emerge sys-apps portage |
is missing a /
might work

Can't seem to get past this ....

Wizumwalt,
| Code: | | [blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.9 ("<sys-apps/portage-2.1.9" is blocking dev-lang/python-2.6.6-r1) |
Means that you need sys-apps/portage-2.1.9 to get python-2.6.6-r1. You seem to have portage-2.1.6.
The tree contains the follwoing portage versions | Code: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9886 Oct 13 02:30 portage-2.1.6.13.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8538 Oct 13 02:30 portage-2.1.6.7.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9340 Feb 6 20:01 portage-2.1.8.3.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9704 Feb 6 20:01 portage-2.1.9.25.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9716 Feb 6 20:01 portage-2.1.9.35.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10108 Feb 8 23:00 portage-2.1.9.39.ebuild |
and the following python ebuilds | Code: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9296 Dec 16 16:14 python-2.4.6.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9646 Dec 16 16:14 python-2.5.4-r4.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9444 Dec 6 02:56 python-2.6.5-r3.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9625 Jan 6 19:31 python-2.6.6-r1.ebuild |
There are more of both, but these are the ones that concern us now.
Try to emerge portage at the highest version you can. Thats probably 2.1.8.3
the command is | Code: | | emerge -1 =sys-apps/portage-2.1.8.3 |
The -1 means --oneshot, so portage is not added to your world file.
If that works, try | Code: | | emerge -1 =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4 |
If that works, it gets a little longwinded. run which will rebuild all your python installs to work with your new version of python.
Repeat those steps until your portage and python are current.
You may pick up other dependencies along the way. You defeat those in the same way, by incremental updates.
