 Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 2:00 pm Post subject: Portage doesn't work, always "function not implemented& |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to make an arm-install for a PDA.
I used the experimental 2004.3 embedded stage1 starge archive.
At the moment I don't get portage working.
It worked one week ago, but now, everytime I try a emerge sync or emerge-websync I get errormessages like this:
| Quote: |
# emerge -Op portage
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in sys-apps/portage dependencies.
!!! [Errno 38] Function not implemented: '/var/cache/edb/dep//usr/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.19' exceptions
# |
I'm getting really tired now, I restarted three times now and it takes much time again and again.
emerge metadata gives me crap like that:
| Quote: |
# emerge metadata
skipping sync
>>> Updating Portage cache... -
Failed cache update: app-admin/addpatches-0.2 [Errno 38] Function not implemented: '/var/cache/edb/dep//usr/portage/app-admin/addpatches-0.2'

|
...
|
It's a fresh stage 1, only the make.conf and resolv.conf is configured.
I've no explanation for that. As I said, it worked only one week ago.
Please help.

I'm really getting sick of this now.
I really make a fresh stage-directory and do emerge sync.
Two hours later only this error occurs.
Has something changed in the portage-tree that makes it incompatible with any 2004.3?
What the hell can that be?
I even tried to put a binary package with the latest portage over this stage archive.
The error differs but I still cannot merge.
HELP!!!

And again, for the fifth time today I deleted everything and tried it with a fresh unpacked stage2.
emerge-websync and that comes when I say emerge metadata.
(emerge sync or emerge-webrsync takes everytime about three ours.
The PDA is connected via USB and has access to the installation environment via NFS)

I'm no noob. I searched through this board and I googled.
I couldn't find anything useful.
I can not explain this.
Please, help!

Thats because -O is nodeps You merged specified packages but didn't merge any dependencies. Therefore some of the programs wont work because they dont have the deps they need. re-emerge portage if its not too messed up. emerge -pv portage will tell you what you need

Sorry, I didn't merge anything because all I'm talking about is a fresh unpacked stage1-archive.
emerge -O portage was just an example what doesn't work.
No emerge blabla works, there are always the same errors.
I tell it in detail.
I unpack the stage1-arm-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 file into /arm of my PC.
I have an entry in my /etc/exports:
/arm 192.168.4.2(rw,all_squash,anonuid=0,anongid=0,async)
Now I can mount this environment on the PDA and chroot into it.
I did that one week before (I had some problems that have been solved by passing nolock as mouting-option and I had problems with breaking rsync-connections, but emerge-websync solved that) and it worked!
So, on the PDA I chroot into the environment, configure /etc/resolv.conf and then I do emerge-websync.
You can see the results above.
I tried emerge sync (what only worked together with a local rsync-server on my PC), same result.
That's all really really strange.
I try to websync with an one week old portage snapshot that worked previously.

I destroyed the working install by merging binutils with a misstyped CTARGET.
I tried three hours to save five days of work without success.
So I had to start again (arount two days of compile time)
Sadly I have lost one day now because of this damn problem and I don't see a solution.

i think you'd probably get more help from #gentoo-embedded on freenode, chat to the devs there

I'll do tomorrow.
Using an old portage snapshot with emerge-websync failed as the ones before.

Okay, I had to learn that the arm-uclibc stage1 is causing the problem.
It works with a normal glibc arm-stage1.
I'll try to contact the devs about that.

It is said that the uclibc stages are built agains 2.6 kernel-headers.
You cannot use a 2.4 kernel together with the uclibc stages.
If you have a 2.4 kernel and don't have the option to update (as it is with me), you will have to take a normal arm stage1 and bootstrap it with the uclibc profiles.
