System update error: 'Task was destroyed but it is pending!'

[muke]

I'm trying to update my system with

Code: Select all

sudo -i emerge --deep --update --newuse --changed-use --with-bdeps=y --quiet --autounmask --autounmask-write @world

but when trying to compile any package portage gives the following error:

Task was destroyed but it is pending!
task: <Task pending name='Task-9' coro=<ForkProcess._proc_join() done, defined at /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/portage/util/_async/ForkProcess.py:75> wait_for=<Future pending cb=[<TaskWakeupMethWrapper object at 0x7f816ba9ad30>()]> cb=[_EbuildFetcherProcess._proc_join_done(<Process name...code=-SIGTERM>)()]>

I've no idea what this means and why it's happening, can anyone help?

Issue's been solved - using the --quiet flag was obfuscating the real source of the problem, turns out I just needed to install libxcrypt due to the migration

[Dominique_71]

I get the same issue but libxcrypt is allready installed. I am following the news about libxcrypt migration and add --keep-going=y to the emerge command. I must go out and will see when I come back if it work.

This likely isn't the real error, please share the build.log of what is failing.

Probably OOMK.
Check dmesg to verify whether or not you've ran out of RAM.

Now it work fine, merging 192 of 1275 software packages.

When this occurred, I was running, according to /var/log(emerge.log:

Code: Select all

emerge --newuse --update --ask --backtrack=9999 --deep --with-bdeps=y --regex-search-auto=y --verbose @world

.

Emerge did succeeded to calculate the update and it started to do its preliminary checks (like at least 3Gb free space needed to some compilation) when this issue occurred. In emerge.log, after the emerge command, I only got:

Code: Select all

1641213269:  *** Finished. Cleaning up...
1641213269:  *** exiting unsuccessfully with status '1'.
1641213269:  *** terminating.

At the console, the error message was exactly like in the first post with "Task was destroyed but it is pending!"

In dmesg, all I see is things like

Code: Select all

[345038.267142] audit: type=1326 audit(1641240754.082:2): auid=1001 uid=0 gid=0 ses=2 pid=18927 comm="file" exe="/usr/bin/file" sig=31 arch=c000003e syscall=202 compat=0 ip=0x7fcf15d4b6ce code=0x0

and

Code: Select all

[356961.628852] kauditd_printk_skb: 10 callbacks suppressed

but I believe its vivaldi. To be sure, I will stop it, unplug and plug back some USB device and see if it continue.

[Dominique_71]

I was wrong, it is the file command:

Code: Select all

# file lastlog
Bad system call

and one more audit line in dmesg.

[Dominique_71]

I merged file again, and now it wok fine. I think than the file command must be used by portage or by some build systems and it should have been updated earlier by emerge world. Should I report it? and if yes, what information should I provide?
