 Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2023 2:49 am Post subject: [solved] Weird behavior installing binary |
 |
|
I'm failing to understand how this is happening. I have a binary package built on another machine.
| Code: |
# tar -tf /usr/portage/packages/sys-apps/portage-3.0.43-r1.gpkg.tar
portage-3.0.43-r1/gpkg-1
portage-3.0.43-r1/metadata.tar.bz2
portage-3.0.43-r1/image.tar.bz2
portage-3.0.43-r1/Manifest
|
When I try to install it I get: (note I rm -rf /var/cache/binpkgs/* first to be safe)
| Code: |
>>> Running pre-merge checks for sys-apps/portage-3.0.43-r1
receiving incremental file list
portage-3.0.43-r1.gpkg.tar
2,846,720 100% 45.25MB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#1, to-chk=0/1)
sent 43 bytes received 2,847,531 bytes 5,695,148.00 bytes/sec
total size is 2,846,720 speedup is 1.00
!!! Invalid binary package: '/var/cache/binpkgs/sys-apps/portage-3.0.43-r1.tbz2.partial'
|
Why is this happening? Where is /var/cache/binpkgs/sys-apps/portage-3.0.43-r1.tbz2.partial even coming from?

.tbz2 is the original binary package format used by portage. This .gpgk.tar seems to be a new format that is more userfriendly due to just being a regular tar archive, but I'm not familiar with that. And it appears that there are still a few issues with this new format.
My guess is that there is some problem with the .gpkg.tar file, which triggers a codepath where portage rebuilds the filename from the package name and simply assumes it to be in .tbz2 format.
You should probably open a bug report about this to get a proper error message. |

Just in case someone stumbles on this:
BINPKG_FORMAT="xpak"
in make.conf.
I was trying to use gpkg, it isn't working right now.
You need to rebuild all your packages after changing it:
quickpkg "*/*"
Its also useful to include --include-unmodified-config=y in the above command. |
