 |
|
Hi everyone,
So a friend has been guiding me thusfar and he has been helpful but I would like to get some additional feedback on this problem. I am running a VPS through Gridlane and they've been fantastic so far. I had a pretty stable install that I completely screwed somehow and became unable to login, so I wiped it for a fresh install of Gentoo Hardened version "130627" (that is the only Gentoo install they offer).
The last time I did a fresh install, emerge --sync and the full emerge @world worked just fine. For some reason, this time around I have been stopped a few times. I circumvented the problem packages using --skipfirst and it would resume. Some of the problem packages included intltool (if i remember this name correctly), help2man, and currently the main hangup is with gentoo-sources-3.12.20.
Here's the final section of error I am receiving:
| Code: |
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory
>>> Failed to install sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.12.20, Log file:
>>> '/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.12.20/temp/build.log'
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
|
I can attach the log file if necessary, but I am wondering why this would be happening now and what I can do about it? I haven't really done any thing with the system and the configuration is what ever the default that Gridlane provides, but I will give whatever information necessary to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for you help!
Edit: I should add that this is the only package left in the emerge world that will not install. |

So, I just tried to run yet another update, not using --resume and here's what happened:
| Code: |
# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
|
What exactly does this mean with regards to my original issue? I'm not sure I understand how an install can fail but still pass the emerge world update? Is it something easy like it can't update a package that isn't even installed? |

Just a couple questions that might help:
Do you have any swap?
Did gentoo-sources successfully install?
| Code: | # equery list gentoo-sources
# eselect kernel list
|

Yeah I have tons of free space
| Code: |
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 249244 126872 122372 252 27088 74988
-/+ buffers/cache: 24796 224448
Swap: 499708 4420 495288
Total: 748952 131292 617660
|
And it looks like it didn't install? I'm not sure how to interpret this.
| Code: |
# equery list gentoo-sources
* Searching for gentoo-sources ...
[I--] [??] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13:3.8.13
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-3.8.13-gentoo *
|
Additionally, I did some manual installs of some of the failed packages in an emerge -pvDN @system and managed to get it to where there are no errors, but then when I did the emerge -uavD @system, it failed on help2man AGAIN. This package has been giving me a lot of problems but I don't understand why. |

It did not install.
gentoo-sources-3.8.13 is not in portage anymore, that explains the ??, the masking info is not available.
gentoo-sources-3.12.20 is not installed, that's why it's not in the list. You can double-check by re-doing the query with the 3.12.20 slot like this:
| Code: | | # equery list sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:3.12.20 |
If it had installed, you would then see it in the eselect list for choosing.
Try emerging it again with 'emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:3.12.20'
I've never used hardened however, so I'm not sure if the profile might want hardened-sources, and if possibly that might be related to the error.

Help2man requires the perl module Locale::gettext - Install it and it will run through fine. Had the same issue, if you read the errors carefully you would have noticed this :p |
