|

UPDATE: see the third post in this thread, the problem is not specific to gentoo overlays, it is specific to svn:// URIs. Thanks for any help figuring out what has broken.
I have been getting svn: E170001 on layman subversion repositories for the last few days. Specifically affected were emacs and java, the working directory (checkout) doesn't even seem to be valid svn any more. There is a .svn directory, and svn cleanup returns without output.
| Code: | /var/lib/layman/java-overlay $ sudo svn log
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/java-overlay'
svn: E170001: generic failure |
Cleaned out emacs repository and tried to re-add:
| Code: | $ sudo layman -a emacs
* Adding overlay,...
* Running Subversion... # /usr/bin/svn co svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/emacs-overlay/@ /var/lib/layman/emacs
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/emacs-overlay'
svn: E170001: generic failure
* Failure result returned from Subversion
* Deleting _empty_ directory "/var/lib/layman/emacs"
* Adding repository "emacs" failed!
* CLI: Errors occured processing action add
* Adding repository "emacs" failed! |
Any ideas.

One other datum: looking through the recent emerge list and cross-referencing with subversions dependencies, I have suspicions that the last time I had a successful svn update via layman -S (of emacs or java overlays) was about the time of latest cyrus-sasl update:
| Code: | Mon Nov 7 05:38:24 2011 >>> dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-r6
merge time: 1 minute and 36 seconds.
Thu Dec 1 07:29:19 2011 >>> dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.25
merge time: 1 minute and 29 seconds. |
E170001 is apparently an authorization error.
However, subversion has been manually re-emerged since then, I have run git svn updates since then, works fine. Performing a regular svn checkout against an https URI works fine too, just tested it. |

UPDATE: This is actually problem on one machine with svn:// URIs. http(s):// URIs are fine with subversion and git-svn.
| Code: | $ svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/hurry.query
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/hurry.query'
svn: E170001: generic failure |
The problem is only occurring on my laptop. My other ~amd64 machines are able to access the emacs and java overlays. There is apparently something wrong on my ~amd64 laptop that is causing the svn: E170001 error.
It is reproducible after removing and rsyncing the emacs overlay from another machine. I can go to /var/lib/layman/emacs and get the same error with svn up, both as root and as sudo.
| Code: | /var/lib/layman/emacs # svn up
Updating '.':
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/emacs-overlay'
svn: E170001: generic failure |
| Code: | jtk@usi-l00339 /tmp $ svn co svn://anonsvn.gentoo.org/emacs
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://anonsvn.gentoo.org/emacs'
svn: E170001: generic failure |
I removed all entries under ~/.subversion/auth and /root/subversion/auth (none grep-matched emacs overlay anyway).
I have remerged cyrus-sasl, neon, subversion.
Are there any other dependencies that could be involved in causing a failing svn:// URL auth? revdep-rebuild has been run several times, nothing found needing rebuilding.
Thanks. |
