Portage 2.0.8 seems just as fast as 2.0.4, and emerge -pu world seems to work again.

However, when I do emerge -pe world, I get the following error:


Calculating world dependencies -Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1227, in ?
if not mydepgraph.syscreate(getworldlist()):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 523, in syscreate
if not self.create(self.match(myline,mykey="syscreate1")):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 466, in create
if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 466, in create
if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 410, in create
edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2565, in aux_get
self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]
IndexError: list index out of range


Anyone else have this problem?

Edit: seems anything with the -e option causes that error for me. I've rsynced several times to see if that helped, but it hasn't.

PS: it seems you can pretend to emerge while not the root user in this version. Seems like a great feature to me. Thanks.

I still don't know why the portage 2.0.5 and later version no longer display the receiving file list. With the number shown in the receiving file list, at least I know, the "emerge sync" command is working and not hanging. Quite a few times, when I notice that "emerge sync" connect to a mirror site in Venezuala, it's progressing so slow that I kill the process with ctrl-c and then do "emerge sync" again. After this, it connects to a different site next time and the process is quick again.

Yes it really makes sense to have the ability to do all things in portage except actually emerge or unmerge.

Hmm, 2.0.8 still doesn't work for me...I've yet to get any portage higher than 2.0.4 to work correctly. 2.0.8 now works correctly with emerge -s, and it is fast again, but portage crashes with python errors whenever I do an emerge -pu world or (it seems) emerge -pu gnome.
I haven't found any other packages it fails for but then again I couldn't think of anything else to try that would require a lot of dependencies I don't have installed... (my kde is up to date).

Here's the output:
Code:

oowah pkg # emerge -pu world

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

Calculating world dependencies -Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1227, in ?
    if not mydepgraph.syscreate(getworldlist()):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 513, in syscreate
    if not self.create(self.match(myline,mykey="update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry)")):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 410, in create
    edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys)

    self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]

And for gnome:
Code:

oowah pkg # emerge -pu gnome

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

  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1259, in ?

    self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]

Since I haven't seen too many complaints about 2.0.8 here from other people, could there be something else screwed up on my system?

BTW, 2.0.4 still works if I downgrade to it...

Perhaps I am just lucking, but I have been using Gentoo since the day 1.1a was released, have updated everything almost every day, and have never had a single problem with any version of portage.

I've been here since RC6, and I had never had a serious problem either until 2.0.5+...

Portage 2 was great up until then...I'm sure they'll work the kinks out soon.

Ditto, I did break 2.0.5 and that is only because it was causing problems but I fixed it and am still happily using 2.0.4.

I have the same errors with portage 2.0.8, so I merged portage 2.0.4 and removed 2.0.8, and it's working again for me :)

Does portage unmerge the older package first? Or stays the old package on the system ? Example: update of irssi: now I see two different versions, but I'm using (of course) the latest one. Does the older version of irssi still exists on my system ?

Just a few questions: I'm going to install gentoo soon (as soon as I buy 2nd hdd), but I'm a bit terrified by the previous messages. So:
- is emerge and packaging system so unstable, that I should be prepared for regular backup/reinstall?
- shouldn't it be better tested? It is obvious, that there are buggy packages and there will never be a bug-free distro as a whole. But emerge/ebuild is essential for the system, so special attention must be paid to it.
- is there a way to distinct stable and unstable emerge relases? I it possible to stick with the emerge packed in stage-3 tarball and upgrade to 2.x series only if it is safe?
I've been reading the forum for a few weeks (not having gentoo installed yet, due to lack of hdd space) and I think gentoo's philosophy is great (after almost 3 years I'm already tired RPM package-system). But, uhm..., if I'd have to reinstall gentoo every few weeks, I'd really reconsider installing it. Please, tell me it's not so bad :lol:

there has to break much more than portage to force someone into re-installing the system. actually there should be no need to ever re-install everything ;)
concerning the current portage problems: it seems like it's having problems with the meta-packages like world or system, and this maybe only combined with --pretend - if someone still has installed a 2.0.5 to 2.0.8 please try and post!

you can install anyway, just do an emerge -p system - take a look at the list and emerge all the packages exept for portage :) you can do this in one step by emerge packagea other onemore ... :)

All versions up to 2.0.4 have been stable so far. You are always able to emerge a particular version (I'd suggest you upgrade just to this version and then wait until problems have sorted out) and beside that you don't have to upgrade the day the latest versions of portage comes out :-)
I broke my portage with the 2.0.7 version but could recover the 2.0.4 with my emergency rescue portage. So I think there is no need to reinstall the whole system.

You are right with testing! I didn't understand why the lastest 2.0.5 to 2.0.8 have been masked a while for testing...

Don't get confused by this thread. Although Gentoo is a bleeding edge distro, the ppl here in this thread are always trying to get a little bit closer to the edge.

The portage 2.0.4 seems like the most stable version of the 2.x before 2.0.5.
I wonder why the ebuild is gone if "emerge --clean rync". This version no longer exists. If someone would like to go back to this version after trying 2.0.5 or later, there is problem unless you use 'emerge -b " option.

Try:

I just did an emerge --update world which installed Portage 2.0.8 and when I did an emerge to install a package:

this all seems a bit strange to me, since i have used portage 2.0.8 since it was unmasked and i have never had a problem with it, or any other version of portage for that matter.
curious...
and elcondor is right. even if portage breaks, that will not cause you to have to reinstall everything.

I just updated to 2.0.4 and am unable to unmerge 1.9.11. After the update 1.9.11 cannot be found. Is this normal or do I have a problem? Thanks.

I have upgraded to portage 2.0.8. It has merged 2.0.8 and unmerged 2.0.6 successfully. Now emerge isn't there anymore, where is it ????

I had some unmerging troubles as well. I had to do an emerge unmerge '=sys-apps/portage.blah' or
whatever it is (if not sys-apps). I probably don't have the syntax correct, so man emerge, and look
at the unmerge options.

You can do this also:

Code:

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-X.X.xx unmerge

Portage 2.0.8 is a Ghost ! 8O

It has finly been working fine for the last 30 minutes.... and suddenly all the portage 2.0.8 files have disapeared...

The only file left in /usr/lib/portage/bin is use.

So I had to install portage-rescue AGAIN, and then reinstall 2.0.8 AGAIN.... now it's been working AGAIN for 10 minutes... will see !
