[SOLVE] Portage Fetch failed

[oscarandrea]

Hi i am experiencing a problem in Portage, Portage can not download the packages by returning these errors for each time (the full log says no more):

Code: Select all

What is the output of ls -ld /usr{,/share{,/portage{,/config{,/make.globals{,/genpatches-4.16-13.base.tar.xz}}}}}?

in english: ls: Cannot access [...] is not a directory
Thanks for the reply

That is strange. /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals is a file for me too, so the problem seems to be that Portage is trying to use it as a directory when it should not. I expected to find that a path that should have been a directory was instead a file.

I see in your emerge --info that you set GENTOO_MIRRORS="/usr/share/portage/config/make.globals". In my emerge --info, GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org". I would not expect the failing path to use this variable in this way. However, I do not see any value in having GENTOO_MIRRORS set as you have it. Try removing that and repeating your test.

As a minor tip, I think that you can set LC_ALL=C to force all error messages to be untranslated: LC_ALL=C ls /no-such-path. This may be more convenient than letting it print in your native language, then requiring you to translate it to English for us.

Thanks a lot, the problem has been solved as you suggested
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org"
