PostPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:47 am    Post subject: [SOLVED] revdep-rebuild problem, wants python 2.4 Reply with quote

I have a problem running revdep-rebuild on an otherwise up to date AMD64 system. I have a number of versions of python installed but not 2.4 (and it's no longer available in portage). I have run emerge -e system and that completed successfully. I am also unable to run python-updater because of an error message about missing metadata in '/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/environment.bz2' that file exists but is basically empty. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ken.

First, try purging /var/cache/revdep-rebuild - just to make sure it's not simply a stale cache - and run revdep-rebuild again.

Thank you, that's done half the job, revdep-rebuild works now! Unfortunately pthon-updater still fails and complains about metadata in '/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/environment.bz2', is it as simple as deleting this file or directory? The livecd kernel I used to build this system would be incredibly old now.

How did you even get a /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/? That is not a package that would normally be installed on anything other than the install media.

I really don't know how it got there, I certainly didn't manually put it there. I can only assume it was there as part of there installation. When I run eclean-dist
it lists the livecd-kernel as an unavailable installed package. Does anyone know if would be a problem just deleting the directory /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/ ?

So I deleted /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/ and now python-updater finishes without error.

Thanks VoidMage for the tip about deleting the revdep-rebuild cache, which fixed the problem I had with revdep-rebuild.

Ken.
