 Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:32 am Post subject: Emerge-webrsync borked my portage tree |
 |
|
I've got a Gentoo computer at work. It's behind a firewall, and I can't use emerge sync. Emerge-webrsync usually does the job, but this morning it seems like the snapshot is totally borked. The following output is from a re-run of emerge-webrsync:
| Code: | bombadil root # emerge-webrsync
Fetching most recent snapshot
Syncing local tree...
building file list ...
3705 files to consider
Number of files: 3705
Number of files transferred: 0
Total file size: 4218078 bytes
Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 87500
Total bytes written: 87545
Total bytes read: 20
wrote 87545 bytes read 20 bytes 58376.67 bytes/sec
total size is 4218078 speedup is 48.17
*** Completed websync, please now perform a normal rsync if possible.
Update is current as of the of YYMMDD: 20041024
|
The first time through, it deleted a lot of files, almost my entire portage tree seems to have gone down the drain. When I try to run an emerge -avuD world now, all I get is:
| Code: |
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?
|
I've discovered a bugzilla entry describing the problem here: #61398.
Now, I wonder if I just can do an emerge-webrsync again in a few hours, and get the situation back to normal?
regards, Leif. |

it's a bad portage snpashot again!
if you look here http://gentoo.osuosl.org/snapshots/
portage-20041024.tar.bz2 is only 916K!
there must be something wrong with the snapshot tarbar generator.
Staturday's snapshot was also bad.
one way to correct this is to emerge sync. however, it is a good idea
to untar say http://gentoo.osuosl.org/snapshots/portage-20041023.tar.bz2
replacing the portage tree which you have, otherwise the emerge sync
will take forever, as the corresponding portage tree of portage-20041024.tar.bz2
is virtually empty.
someone ought to file a bug report to alert the developers about
the incmplete snapshots.

Thanks for the tip. The handbook describes the initial setup of the portage tree like this:
| Code: | | # tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20040710.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr |
I guess that I untar the new one in mostly the same way:
| Code: | | # tar -xvjf /tmp/portage-20040710.tar.bz2 -C /usr |
Is this correct?
regards, Leif. |

Thanks a lot.
I can't run emerge sync because of the bl**dy firewall, that's why I have to run emerge-webrsync.
I untarred the file, so I guess that I'm now up to date with the 20041023 portage? and now emerge -avuD world wants to update 25 packages. Most of it seems quite reasonable, but I'd like know if it's safe to update before I can run a new emerge-webrsync.

leifbk,
just to be sure that you have a clean
portage tree based on the 2004/10/23
snapshot do the followings:
| Code: |
#backup the distfiles dir
mv /usr/portage/distfiles /distfiles
#nuke the portage tree
rm -Rf /usr/portage
#utar the good portage snapshot
#assume the good snapshot is at /root
tar -xvjf /root/portage-20041023.tar.bz2 -C /usr
restore the distfiles directory
mv /distfiles /usr/portage/distfiles
emerge --regen
emerge --metadata
|
hth
happy gentooing |

Uh-oh, it's a bit too late for that now. I'm halfway through the update already 
I thought the package list looked quite sane and reasonable, after all. It's been some days since my last sync here.
BTW, the emerge --regen thingy took ages to complete on my 2.8G P4. It must be a really heavy-duty job. |

Yup! I got the same problem! I did notice something was strange when I went to "physically" download the portage snapshot and it was only 976 KB in size!
Any fixes for this?

Oops! One more thing. I also cannot run 'emerge --sync' because I am behind a firewall.

The faulty snapshot seems to have disappeared from this server , so I thought that all you should have to do now is to run emerge-webrsync again -- which I just did, and broke portage again 
At least, I'll get to try irf2003's advices in full with the new 20041024 snapshot. Nothing much to do here anyway  |

leifbk,
thanks for pointing out that a good 10/24 snapshot has been posted.
when you are done doing emerge -uD world follow it by
| Code: |
emerge --newuse -uD world
|
before you do so can you please post the ouput of
| Code: |
emerge -uDp world
emerge --newuse -p world
emerge --newuse -uDp world
|
this is un-related to the bad snapshot problem, but,
would appreciate if you can post the output of the above commands, as i'm intrigued by the --newuse coupled with the -uD
option of the emerge command, and would like to compare notes,
if at all possible.
TIA
happy gentooing
PS is the new (i.e. 16Meg one) http://gentoo.osuosl.org/snapshots/portage-20041024.tar.bz2
any good? or is it still broken? |

leifbk,
that's very interesting!
so, i would not hesitate to execute the command below,
just to make sure that my system is consistant:
| Code: |
emerge --newuse -uD world
|
many thanks for your input,
hth,
and happy gentooing
PS on second thoughts I would do the above on system first,
followed by world
| Code: |
emerge --newuse -uD system
emerge --newuse -uD world
