I just sync'ed my portage tree, but something failed in a bad way and now my portage tree has been emptied, apparently.
Code:
directory has vanished: "/usr/portage/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine/x11-libs"                                                                                                                                                [42/1821]

 * An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
 * that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated.

 * To update portage, run 'emerge --oneshot portage' now.



 * emerge --sync failed
 * Time statistics:
   662 seconds for syncing
   664 seconds total


In fact, I knew I had to emerge @preserved-rebuild (for rust), but decided to sync my tree first. So this now gives
Code:
# emerge -qva @preserved-rebuild


!!! /etc/portage/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /usr/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)


!!! Your current profile is invalid. If you have just changed your profile
!!! configuration, you should revert back to the previous configuration.
!!! Allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --search, --sync, and
!!! --version.


And so I now have no profile file anymore!

A question mark is also listed after Package Database on https://infra-status.gentoo.org/.

What is going on?

I guess I best wait until this is fixed and then try and re-sync. Please let me know when that is once you find out. Thanks.

package database is https://packages.gentoo.org, its been broken for a while. it http 500's all over the place.

edit: looks okay here https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/... wanna try syncing again?

Tried. The same problem as before. (I sync using the classical rsync method.)

Could be a bad rsync server maybe? https://www.gentoo.org/support/rsync-mirrors/

I had no trouble as of 3 AM this morning.

Code:

I just checked my usual mirror, rsync://rsync1.ca.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/ all good here

edit: are you using overlayfs? I wonder if this might be related https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2018-07-11-portage-sync-allow-hardlinks.html

I doubt it's a whole lot of different servers, more likely something on your end/your system.

Code:
1537254002: Started emerge on: Sep 18, 2018 02:00:01
1537254002:  *** emerge --with-bdeps=y --quiet-build=y --autounmask=n --sync
1537254002:  === sync
1537254002: >>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
1537254015: >>> Starting rsync with rsync://91.186.30.235/gentoo-portage
1537254094: === Sync completed for gentoo

That was this morning.
and it corresponds to rsync://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/gentoo

Looking at the time stamp they seem to be active for ~50 seconds which is a little short, mine from this morning was 1 min and 20 seconds.

Edit to add: what does "cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf" return

ETA2: is /usr/portage on the root filesystem, or a mounted filesystem?
What have you changed on your system lately, fstab, etc?

If you do "touch /usr/portage/test.file" is there a file called "test.file" in /usr/portage?

I've changed my rsync mirror to the US one from the European one and am now syncing using the gatech mirror (goes very slowly!). Will report back once it's done.

What is your portage version "emerge --version"

and what does "ls -la /usr/portage" return

So the tree is not entirely empty, as some app-a… categories have some content. The rest is stuffed into .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine for some reason.

I would delete everything under /usr/portage, that includes .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine and stuff under it.
Do an "ls -la /usr/portage" and make sure there are absolutely no files there including the hidden ones.

Then run emerge-webrsync and see if that doesn't give you a complete /usr/portage

It does. But when I then sync again, the original issue reappears.

Don't do a sync, doing the webrsync should do the same thing.
After you do the webrsync I would do "emerge portage" then "emerge @world" and see if things don't start working properly.

If that doesn't work then you've done something horribly wrong to your portage environment and I can't help past this point.

I did the webrsync and then subsequently a sync, it's the second one that messes things up.

I've done the portage rebuild, but I'm refraining from rebuilding my whole world, as I don't see what that would change. I'm waiting a while to see if someone else knows more. The .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine thing must be related somehow.

I can understand. You've already assisted me very kindly, thanks! (I do want to state that I did not mess up my system: I synced yesterday without issues, did nothing as a superuser in between and synced again today with the bad result.)

equaeghe ... this is the result of 'sync-allow-hardlinks = yes' (which was introduced and is the default), to disable it set 'sync-allow-hardlinks = no' in repos.conf (see the above linked, or 'eselect news', 2018-07-11-portage-sync-allow-hardlinks).

I owe you an apology on that, as what happened to you happened to me last night,
and there's nothing wrong with hard links on my system, but I set the no flag in repos.conf since.

It seems the devs are bound and determined to destroy gentoo one way or another, "hey lets screw with whats been working forever" :roll:

I'm trying to understand this thread before I sync my two Gentoo installations this week.

Anon-E-moose and equaeghe, are you saying you do not have an overlay filesystem (yet you nevertheless have a problem syncing)?

Excerpt from https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2018-07-11-portage-sync-allow-hardlinks.html :

Zac Medico wrote:
The new behavior may conflict with configurations that restrict the use of hardlinks, such as overlay filesystems. Therefore, users will have to set "sync-allow-hardlinks = no" in repos.conf if they have a configuration that restricts the use of hardlinks, but this should not be very common

Yes. I will file a bug and report its number here.

I tried this, and it works. Thanks! (Of course this is just a workaround; I guess I'll move to git syncing, where all the attention is nowadays.)

Fitzcarraldo, I don't use overlay at all, it's not even set in the kernel.

Code:
 * Verifying /usr/portage/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine ...!!! Manifest verification failed:
Manifest mismatch for metadata/Manifest.gz
  __size__: expected: 1981, have: 1980


Day before yesterday it was fine, this morning's sync showed the problem.
so I set hardlinks no in repos.conf and resync'd, showed clean then.

Whichever dev came up with this idea and claimed that most wouldn't be affected as it's not common is a little wrong.

Edit to add: The problem is that any error will trigger off unwanted behavior, things left in .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine, main /usr/portage/* left in a weird and possibly unstable state. As is shown above it was simply a one byte off mismatch that triggered my problem.
