Hi there,
I get the following error after emerge sync :
Code:
!!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert'
!!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this. If it does
!!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev
!!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org)

can't find an answer I hope it's not a dupe...

Thanks :)

Aha! I'm not alone...

I'm guessing the 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' didn't fix it for you either?

I'm having the same problem. I renamed (rather than deleting) the profiles directory, but then I get:

--- 'profiles/arch.list' is empty or not available. Empty portage tree?

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?



Any suggestions?

Are you sure you didn't make a typo in with emerge sync? It sounds like portage is trying to emerge something instead...

Maybe I did, because it's syncing now. But that hasn't fixed the original problem. :?

emerge sync
...
>>> Updating Portage cache... ...done!

!!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert'
!!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this. If it does
!!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev
!!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org)

seems to be a profile problem... i recently changed /etc/make.profile to x86/2004.2

tried to switch back to 1.4 profile and now it works fine ....
started with:
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2004

maybe this global update tries to do something that is not available on my installation (since its originally 1.4 ... ) - is there anything one should do when updating to 2004.2 profile except setting the new link?

my profile is amd64 gcc3.4. i have installed with amd64 gcc 3.3 a few months ago. i don't think that switching back to 1.4 is best for me.

Same problem here, i'm using
Code:
/etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/gcc34-2004.2

Any solution found?
I've removed the profiles directory and re-sync'ed but no go.
This is a weird thing since it happened after i ran an emerge sync today when i woke up.

None of the profiles in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64 work. Switching (back) to /usr/portage/profiles/gcc34-amd64-2004.1 help, but this profile was declared deprecated, IIRC.

I'm having the same problem too.
gcc-3.4 profile on amd64.

I was searching the forums for the problem a bit earlier and the only reference i could find was on the German forum.
It suggested 'rm -rf /usr/portage/*', which I did, thinking I didn't have much to lose (backed up distfiles, though =)
This didn't do any good (as I expected, but worth a try).

PostPosted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 1:58 pm    Post subject: cascading profiles REQUIRE >=portage-2.0.51_pre17 Reply with quote

Here's the deal. Cascading profile support in portage-2.0.50 is very broken. Cascading profiles are currently under testing for 2004.3 and may still be slightly broken in 2.0.51_preX as well. Relink /etc/make.profile to a standard profile and all your problems will go away. There is no need/benefit/whatever in changing to a cascading profile at this time. So what you want to do is something to the effect of:

rm -f /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-amd64-2004.2 /etc/make.profile

If anybody is getting this problem and hasn't ever touched /etc/make.profile, please advise as to what stage tarball was used during installation.

What is a cascading profile? I've changed from /usr/portage/profiles/gcc34-amd64-2004.1 to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/gcc34-2004.2 same days ago, because gcc34-amd64-2004.1 was deprecated.

Quote:

!!! Your current profile is deprecated and not supported anymore.
!!! Please upgrade to the following profile if possible:
default-amd64-2004.0

To upgrade do the following steps:
# cd /etc/
# rm make.profile
# ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/gcc34-2004.2/ make.profile

Solution for x86 :

rm /etc/make.profile && ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-2004.2 /etc/make.profile

NB : /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86 is the wrong way

Great! This works for AMD64, too:

Code:
rm /etc/make.profile && ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-amd64-2004.2 /etc/make.profile
