i just launched emerge --sync (as i do usually) and everything went fine until i recived this :

Code:
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2006
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
  .='update pass'  *='binary update'  @='/var/db move'
  s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
..............
pTraceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3770, in emerge_main
    portage.global_updates(settings, trees, mtimedb["updates"])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6656, in global_updates
    myupd)

    f.close()
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 696, in close
    os.rename(self.name, self._real_name)
OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy


almost at the end of the sync. from now on i can't use emerge , because i always get the same message.
i don't know what to do ! anybody has some clue ?

( pardom my n00bness if this is a n00b question )

Code:
OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy

Looks like a problem accessing the... filesystem probably. Does this always happen? Even after reboots?

Try and upgrade portage - this only happens in one version of portage IIRC

I emerge --sync'd today as well, I have exactly the same problem, and the above link did not work. I followed the manual fix howto and used the portage-2.1.1.tar.bz2 file from http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles. That did not help. I still get exactly the same error as the OP

there's a problem with latest portage snapshot on some (or maybe all) mirrors - portage-latest filesize is about 6 Mb
you should download former portage snapshot and unpack it to your /usr and run emerge --metadata then

yep http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/ is broken too
portage-latest.tar.bz2 19-Oct-2006 21:57 6.2M
portage-20061019.tar.bz2 19-Oct-2006 21:57 6.2M
portage-20061018.tar.bz2 18-Oct-2006 21:57 32M

use portage-20061018.tar.bz2 to repair your system

Anything having to do with the emerge command is broken. It spits out the same stuff as posted above if you do the following:

emerge --sync
emerge -h
emerge portage

... etc etc.. basically anything that begins with emerge :P

You get the idea. This happened after doing an emerge --sync, which seems to have failed. It ends with the quote above in the OP's first post.

I tried out puting the portage tree from the 18th in, the 32M one. I ran emerge --metadata, and it spit out the same old error from the first post :) Also, I have done the manually fixing portage, by downloading and replacing the binaries as per the manual-fix instructions... I'm at a loss...

Who knew emerge --sync was dangerous :P

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/
seems to be fixed for now

so just download latest snapshot from http://distfiles.gentoo.org/snapshots/
unpack it to /usr overwriting existing /usr/portage
and run emerge --metadata

Heh, well my edit didnt appear to leave a time stamp :) Plus I was already doing it before you had posted your message.

I did unpack the portage-latest.tar.bz2 file and dropped it into /usr/portage
I then ran emerge --metadata, which resulted in the same error i've been getting this whole time

I did an equery check portage, just for kicks :P It appears my mtime is not right...

Code:

that's ok, as you've changed this files manualy

please check twice that you don't have /usr/portage/portage/ ;)

Yeah, that would be silly :)

I dont, I have the usual /usr/portage directory listing. Everything there looks ok. And there is no /usr/portage/portage ;)[/code]

Since this happened during an emerge --sync, I suspect that the update somehow broke something, and its kinda stuck in some "update mode" Because it tries to always finish the emerge --sync whenever I use emerge.

i am currently downloading the latest portage ... let's see what happens

finally i'm remerge portage and everyhting seems to work

what i did :

- download latest snapshot and untar in /usr
- emerge --metadata with no luck: same error message
so i followed the guide here
with the exception of using the latest portage http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/portage-2.1.2_pre3.tar.bz2

hope it never happen again (and emerge works for now)
i fear to run emerge --sync again

That seems to have done the trick for me as well. I wonder how wide spread that error is..

Anyway, its scary to run emerge --sync :) But I did it anyway, and everything seems to be up and running. There probably was the same error in the distfiles package I had tried out with the manual-fix howto the first time, is my only guess.
