 |
|
Hi,
after a world update yesterday evening (which pulled dev-python/python-exec-1000.2 in my case) I had problems to launch java programs. Getting it to work again was a lot of pain, since i was not able to find useful information how to fix this issue. Therefore I decided to share my solution to help those who ran into the same pitfall. I hope it is helpful.
I realized the problem when I tried to execute eclipse, which resulted in the following error message:
| Code: |
JVM terminated. Exit code=127
/usr/bin/java
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-jar /home/spork/eclipses/eclipse-jee//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
...
|
Manually executing a jar (java -jar ... ) resulted in this message:
"/usr/bin/java: no supported Python implementation variant found!"
Then I figured out that /usr/bin/java was a link which pointed to python-exec2.
java-config -J told me that the java executable is located in '/opt/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.45/bin/java'. In order to verify it was no java problem I ran:
| Code: |
/opt/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.45/bin/java
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-jar /home/spork/eclipses/eclipse-jee//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar

and everything worked fine. Therefore I guessed it must be a python-exec2 problem.
First, I have reemerged dev-python/python-exec-1000.2, but it did not help. Then I cleaned my package.keywords and fell back to dev-python/python-exec-1000.1 but the problem remained. I ran emerge -avuDN world, emerge --depclean and revdep-rebuild, even emerge -a @world but no improvements.
After a while I realized that dev-lang/python-exec-2.0 was still installed. Thus, I had to unmerge it manually (so only dev-lang/python-exec-0.3.1 is installed). Then it took me some time to figure out I had to reemerge dev-java/java-config. Now calling /usr/bin/java works again.
UPDATE:
This minute i saw that app-portage/layman-2.0.0 pulls dev-lang/python-exec-2.

spork:~ % sudo emerge -av layman [14:57:20]

* IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo-zh'.
* IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'mva'.
* IMPORTANT: 6 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/python-exec-0.3.1 PYTHON_TARGETS="(jython2_5) (jython2_7) (python2_6) (python2_7) (python3_2) (-pypy2_0) (-python3_3)" 0 kB
[ebuild N ~] dev-lang/python-exec-2.0:2 PYTHON_TARGETS="(jython2_5) (jython2_7) (pypy2_0) (python2_6) (python2_7) (python3_2) (python3_3)" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] app-portage/layman-2.0.0 USE="cvs git mercurial subversion -bazaar -darcs {-test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 (-pypy2_0) -python2_6" 0 kB
Total: 3 packages (2 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by virtual/python-argparse-1
# required by app-portage/layman-2.0.0
# required by layman (argument)
=dev-lang/python-exec-2.0 ~amd64
|
Therefore i masked version 2.0.0 and fell back to layman-1.4.2-r3.
Kind regards, Spork |

The last problem is not restricted layman-2.0.0. It is any ebuild that relies on the newer python-r1 eclasses.
The problem stems from the recent python-exec versions out there.
Hopefully it will be fixed properly soon!
It is screwing with peoples systems in all kinds of different ways.
