Hmm - it happens to me on one (of three) system that if one package fails to compile/install the chain seemed to be borked ...
Code:
!! media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.1.1 failed to install.

Checking dependencies..done
** update: Dependency Error - media-video/dvdrip-0.98.8 requires [0.98.6] which is not in the install list!

It happened t ome quite often the last days on this system because splashutils does not build on it but I'm not sure whether the same happens as well on the other systems ... is this a known issue to you guys?

No it's not, thanks for reporting it swimmer; if you're on IRC, ask us in #friendly-coders but we'll put this on the list to sort out. We should get some failures from expat update ;)

Edit: do you have --verbose in your EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS by any chance? It looks like it's mistaking a prior version for an incoming one. There was another bug there, but I don't think that's what triggered that output.

Try this one md5sum: 564f32bb3ba84851b4a5a16d2cbda953
wget http://phpfi.com/261019?download -O /sbin/update; md5sum /sbin/update

I added a check for --verbose as well as --quiet, and it should now go up or down with -v or -q from there. (You could always do -vv or -qq but now they'll start off at -v or -q based on EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in make.conf; so if it's set at --verbose and you use -q it'll go down to normal.)

HTH.

I have found the problem. First param is set to "-uDN" and then it calls checkFlags which ads another minus '-'. Either param should just be set to uDN or checkFlags has to check that if param is not empty that it does not already has an minus in front.

Absolutely right; we did have this changed in working version (and I think I mentioned it to bunkacid on irc) but I totally forgot to put it into the beta release. My bad :S Sorry for not being awake before either ;)
Code:

elif [[ $# -eq 1 && $1 = -* && ! $1 = *[^sqvpaFSCRM-]* ]]; then
   target='world'
   param='-uDN'
   if [[ $1 = *[FSCRM]* ]]; then
      doEmerge=0
      target=[none]
   fi
   [[ $1 = *M* && $1 = *[SCR]* ]] && msg 'M covers all maintenance options'
   checkFlags "$1"

All we did was move the last two lines up to the beginning of that block. beta_2b has this change (post above.) If it tests ok, I'll put it in original post.

Edit: Thanks for the bugfixing btw, sorry for hassle. set -x is good isn't it? :D (help set and help shopt)

Hi Steve :)

I do not use --verbose in my EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS ... but thanks for the fast
response and solution offered :)

I downloaded beta2b and will use it - the only problem is that I solved my
problem with splashutils and the emerge chain is now clean again ... no more
testcase :-/ Sorry about that.

Thanks again for the fast work

Hmm OK, that's odd then. I tried testing by setting it to fail automatically and it seemed to be ok; one problem was if one of the pkgs was blocked due to dep failing (eg device-mapper/udev) but it was giving us a message and had the package name highlighted. I'll tweak that for next beta.

Hi SteveL,

the error/bug is back! :)

Code:
tj portage # update
** Emerging -uDN world then running revdep-rebuild
[...]
!! media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.15_rc2 failed to install.
Packages installed so far: 5 of 6.      2 remaining
! Failed so far: media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.15_rc2
Checking dependencies..done
** update: Dependency Error - media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.15_rc1 requires [1.0.14] which is not in the install list!

Version=0.1.4.0_beta2c

I use the same version on 4 PC's and alsa-lib failed on every single of them but the error above only showed up on *one* of them?!?
The only difference that I can see is that I use EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--color y" on the 'erroneous' PC - I'll disable it for now and will see if that has any influence ...

And there are more strange differences: after compiling all the packages *except* alsa-lib the update process stops on 3 of 4 PC's - only on 1 (not the same with the error above btw.) asks if I want to continue with a revdep-rebuild. Strange ...

EDIT: Stupid me, on the PC's revdep-rebuild does not come in I have an alias for update: "update -D" :-/ Is emerge -aUDNR still default?

Greetz
swimmer

PS: I normally download the script on my main PC and distribute it via scp to the others - should be no difference ...

Ok - after commenting out EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--color y" the script works as presumed - it even asks if I want to continue with a revdep-rebuild ;-)

As far as I can see the script handles only "--quiet" and "--verbose" - very other option specified let's it bail out ...

Oh noes! ;P Glad it got sorted; added support for --color in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS.

Yeah, as long as you don't specify a target (like world/system or some package) and only use (any of) the following options: sqvpaFSR.

None at all, it's just a text file. I think bunkacid had an ebuild, but we're not too worried about that til we get this version finished. Still got to do the config file update at some point, never mind depclean, prelink, eclean blah blah blah ;)

OK I've added --color y/n (or Y/N) support (found a small bug in resume while I was looking at this, when you're resuming after the main install has happened, or there never was a main install.) This was a little bit tricky because of the interaction with NOCOLOR, but hopefully it should all be good. I won't put it on front page til tested (gotta go out now, so can't stress it atm.)
md5: e537c100060fe7603bcb0c7864ea3757 http://phpfi.com/263554
wget http://phpfi.com/263554?download -O /sbin/update
Wrt to the other options, can you specify which ones break it? It's a PITA checking them TBH.

Thanks for your troubleshooting, Swimmer, hope this one works better ;)

Hello,

I have found a small bug...

When there are no more place left on the device, the script hang ... without exiting...

I discovered it when I did a genlop -c on a update of bzip ;)

Thanks for the bug report, Pol. You mean if the hard disk (with /var/tmp/portage on it) is out of room? Hmm that's not good. Does emerge exit in that situation?

Hello,

Yes emerge exit ;)

I use tmpfs (http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Speeding_up_portage_with_tmpfs) and when /var/tmp/portage is full, thing that happens sometimes... the script does nothing... it doesn't exit, emerge does.

Thx for that script btw, it's very nice!

Bye

OK I'll have a look at this tonight and we'll have something fixed in a couple of days, tops.

OK, you should know that the -m option does this too. size=256 should be in /etc/update and is the default, giving you 256MB of tmpfs. You can ofc set it to whatever you like (I haven't tested it for ages, but nothing's changed with it, so I don't see why it should have stopped working :)

New version. Gah didn't fix the outta space thing yet, sorry. This one has major changes (it's the one we've been working on for the last couple of months while only minor fixes have been going out.) As ever, bug reports welcome :)

hi,

I found a problem in the new 0.1.4.0_beta3a version.
After an error I get the message:
Code:

!! No packages compiled successfully on this run, aborting.
/sbin/update: line 623: needMaint: command not found

needMaint seems to be defined. Is this a known problem?

Hi lowtexx it hasn't shown before, but it is a bug. This should have fixed it:
wget http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~igli/src/update/update-20071121 -O /sbin/update

I am stuck! The script stops while trying to install parted-1.8.7. I cannot emerge that version parted either but can emerge parted-1.8.8.
Would you please tell me where to change the package version as referenced by the update script?

This is what is displayed - thanks for the reply (I'm a noob with emerge ...)

emerge -vp parted

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/parted-1.8.8 USE="nls readline -debug -device-mapper (-selinux)" 0 kB

When the script hung on installing parted-1.8.7 I stopped the script and tried an emerge and it too hung while trying to download parted-1.8.7.
I figured that the repository had changed as this world update had been running for about 20hrs. I did an emerge --sync (my bad I guess).
emerge -av parted does however install 1.8.8 which the update script tries to downgrade and hangs at the download stage?

ok so it sounds more like a src download issue.

"update" is at its core a wrapper around emerge (a very clever wrapper I might add ;) ) so when you type "update foo" what it eventually does is "emerge foo" (sorry steveL for reducing the script to its core).

So two interesting things here

1) there is no timeout/retries on the source (iirc there is an /etc/make.conf option)
2) portage is trying to install a version of parted that is, as far as your profile is concerned, depreciated

The only reason why an older version of a certain package is being pulled in/installed is because another application has got a setting that say "no newer versions"

What is the EXACT line you are typing when you are using update and also what is the output of emerge world -uvDp <= this might show what the real package that is giving issues is

!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

x11-base/xorg-server:0

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r4', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'net-misc/vnc-4.1.2-r5', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90', 'merge') pulled in by
('installed', '/', 'x11-drivers/xf86-input-elographics-1.1.0', 'nomerge')
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.443.1-r1', 'merge')
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-drivers/xf86-input-magellan-1.1.1', 'merge')
(and 77 more)

The script has been running for about 20hrs so I guess the above comes from that.

Then all the packages are listed with the following at the bottom:
Total: 359 packages (335 upgrades, 2 downgrades, 20 new, 2 in new slots), Size of downloads: 1,629,406 kB

An "emerge -av =parted-1.8.7" also fails while trying to download while an "emerge -av parted" pulls in 1.8.8??

ok type this:

update -p

need to see what update is trying to pull in AND in what order and for what reason. This is more a package dependency issue just causing problems with update/portage

[quote="Naib"]ok type this:

update -p

Not compiling www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.11
Not compiling app-office/openoffice-2.3.1
* 362 in total
** 2 Downgrades:
app-admin/equo-0.9.21 [9999-r2]
net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.8 [0.6.0-r10] USE="dbus gnutls gsm madwifi qt3 qt4 readline ssl"
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7.ebuild, wpa_supplicant-0.5.8.ebuild,
wpa_supplicant-0.6.0.ebuild:
wpa_supplicant requires libs from /usr so it's moving back. Symlinks are in
place so that baselayout still works.
Toolchain: sys-kernel/linux-headers is being upgraded
! sys-kernel/linux-headers (2.6.23) is newer than running kernel (2.6.22)
- so it will not be installed; upgrade your kernel first
@ Not compiling sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1
@ Not compiling sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.23-r2
dev-libs/expat-2.0.0 does not match from (<2) - you might wish to edit /etc/warning.
# The list of packages to be emerged is saved in /root/emerge/emergeList
# Skipped: www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.11 app-office/openoffice-2.3.1
sys-kernel/linux-headers (2.6.23) is newer than running kernel (2.6.22)

This is the only difference with the previous posting. There are 362 apps, do you want me to post all of the results?

I need some sleep and will continue this tomorrow.
Making a data backup :)

Thanks for your assistance.

If it's really just the download stage you can download the file from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.7.tar.bz2 [1] and save it in /usr/portage/distfiles.
1.8.7 is marked unstable on most architectures, and 1.8.8 has been out for quite some time. Your best bet to sort this out is to log onto irc.freenode.org and ask in #gentoo, or we're in #friendly-coders. This really is a tree issue (the xorg thing is one too.) As Naib, said update is simply a fancy wrapper for emerge; as you've seen the problems show when you run vanilla emerge. (Not that update never borks; it just tends to shout with two red exclamation marks when something serious happens, and real bugs usually have a stack trace.)

To really see what's pulling it in, run emerge -puDNt world but do not post it directly here; it'll be pages and pages of output, and it takes some deciphering. Use a pastebin (I'd save it for a month) and post the link here or on irc.

You'll more likely get a quicker result on IRC tbh; there are always hundreds of people in #gentoo who are willing to help, and they're always up on what's going on in the tree.
