 Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2015 5:12 am Post subject: Installing slang breaks the emerge script [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I'm building a new Gentoo installation (first in about three years) and have followed the new Handbook using the Minimal Install CD. All went OK until the end of "Installation_Base". At that point I decided to install Midnight Commander. "emerge mc" failed with:
| Code: | configure: error: S-Lang library version 2.0 or newer not found
!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/mc-4.8.14/work/mc-4.8.14/config.log
* ERROR: app-misc/mc-4.8.14::gentoo failed (configure phase):
* econf failed
|
I assume that there's a missing dependency in the MC ebuild, so I invoked "emerge slang". This installed 70 packages. After that, invoking emerge produces:
| Code: |
(chroot) livecd / # emerge @preserved-rebuild
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/emerge", line 44, in <module>
from _emerge.main import emerge_main
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_emerge/main.py", line 23, in <module>
from portage.sync import _SUBMODULE_PATH_MAP
ImportError: No module named sync
(chroot) livecd / # emerge mc
Traceback (most recent call last):

from portage.sync import _SUBMODULE_PATH_MAP
ImportError: No module named sync
(chroot) livecd / # emerge --version

(chroot) livecd / # which emerge
/usr/bin/emerge
(chroot) livecd / #

I've captured a long list of unmerges etc, but at this stage I can only assume that my new build is broken and I'll have to restart.
Can anyone offer assistance here? Most grateful for anything that might save the new install.

Well, as portage seems to be temporarily down, some of the data will likely need to be gathered manually...
So, first 'eselect python list', then check the content of /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/portage-<version>/USE to see which python versions was portage installed for. |

Thanks for the tip. I got onto IRC and found the problem - needs a restart. Have marked this SOLVED. |
