 Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 10:19 am Post subject: [SOLVED] ParseError: Profile contains unsupported EAPI '5': |
 |
|
I am trying to rescue my old emails (kde 4.10.0 case) so tought to use my older lapotp with stable kde. I have made emerge --sync so I recieved a message, after this:
| Code: | # emerge portage
!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Use eselect profile to update your profile.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
|
After this I switch into this profile default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde, and... I cannot do anything.
Wht to do now?
| Code: | # emerge portage
!!! Unable to parse profile: '/etc/make.profile'
!!! ParseError: Profile contains unsupported EAPI '5': '/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0/eapi'
!!! Your current profile is invalid. If you have just changed your profile
!!! configuration, you should revert back to the previous configuration.
!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and
!!! --version.

| I solved similar issue by setting profile to hardened -> emerged portage -> set the profile back to default. Dunno if it helps in your case and most likely this is not the correct way to solve this(?). |

| Just upgrade first your portage before you switch profile. Then all should be fine. |

eselect does not offer the old profile anymore, so you cannot switch back from 13.0 to 10.0 using eselect. However, what you can do is change the /etc/make.profile or /etc/portage/make.profile symlink manually (check first which one is used in your installation, that depends on when you first installed your system; only one of these two should exist). For example, for the linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde profile:
| Code: |
pinacolada etc # ls -l make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 9. Feb 12:54 make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
pinacolada etc # rm make.profile
pinacolada etc # ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde make.profile
pinacolada etc # ls -l make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 10. Feb 15:26 make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde
|
Then upgrade portage to current stable, and use eselect to switch to the 13.0 profile... |

Thanks for that hint - I haven't updated my work Gentoo box here for months, and falling behind always means surprises when trying to get back up to date.

Maybe it would be useful to add a warning line in the message:
| Quote: | !!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Use eselect profile to update your profile.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
|
Instead of | Quote: | | Please upgrade to the following profile if possible |
I'd prefer to read something like | Quote: | | Please emerge latest portage and then upgrade to the following profile if possible |

A recent portage will be included in the current stage3 tarball. Chroot into it, use quickpkg to tar it up and extract on the host where you have the error. I was about to curse (at myself, for ignoring the hardened profile warnings from last year) while trying to upgrade a host that's been offline for some 7 months, but then I remembered that portage is all python, so It shouldn't matter if I get it from some other place (box 3 ft. away with same CHOST, in my case).
| Code: |
genja etc # emerge -u portage
!!! Unable to parse profile: '/etc/make.profile'
!!! ParseError: Profile contains unsupported EAPI '5': '/usr/portage/profiles/eapi-5-files/eapi'
!!! If you have just changed your profile configuration, you should revert
!!! back to the previous configuration. Due to your current profile being
!!! invalid, allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --sync, and
!!! --version.
genja etc # cd /
genja / # tar xf root/portage-2.1.11.31.tbz2
bzip2: (stdin): trailing garbage after EOF ignored
genja / # emerge portage
FEATURES variable contains unknown value(s): fixpackages
* IMPORTANT: 14 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.

Top-posting because what tox2ik wrote below makes no sense when:
| Code: | eselect profile set 0
emerge -u portage
eselect profile set 1 |
Is so simple...
Thanks leandroecomp![/code]

This worked for me as well.
The solution from libertytrek wouldn't work for me since any profile I selected gave me the same error. I just used quickpkg on portage from another machine, sent it to the broken machine and worked perfectly.
Thanks!

? You're saying
eselect profile set 0 <- that is a ZERO, a non-existent profile
didn't work? |

eselecting profile 0 borked here too..
I just changed both EAPI file contents to 4. and it seem happy to upgrade portage. Planning to put them back to 5 after emerge is done.
Cheers
