 Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 4:54 pm Post subject: emerge --sync failing on cache update [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've got an old Gentoo system that hasn't been updated in over a year and am trying to bring it back up to date. the --sync's were working fine at first, but after updating about half of the ~400 packages, emerge --sync keeps breaking when performing the cache update.
Here is the output | Code: | Number of files: 147322
Number of files transferred: 2328
Total file size: 157757441 bytes
Total transferred file size: 6236365 bytes
Literal data: 6236365 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 3459215
File list generation time: 5.696 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 57519
Total bytes received: 9811873
sent 57519 bytes received 9811873 bytes 44759.15 bytes/sec
total size is 157757441 speedup is 15.98

Could it be because some of my packages aren't up to date, or some need to be re-built? Or does my cache need to be cleared? Any suggestions? Need any more information?

| If you have current stable version of portage it is possible to delete the cache (/var/cache/edb/dep) and recreate it (with emerge --sync or emerge --metadata). |
