 |
|
Hi all,
first of all, sorry for crossposting (for those who have also read a topic like this in the spanish forum) but I think that maybe here we will get some more help. The problem is this: I ran emerge rsync this morning, and after downloading, while it was updating the portage cache, it started to throw some errors. I post the exact message:
| Code: | >>> Updating Portage cache... |!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
\!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
|!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
/!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
-!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
/!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
\!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
...done!
|
After that, I tried to emerge -pu --deep world, but more error messages appeared:
| Code: | These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies \!!! eclass 'perl-post' in 'perl-post' does not exist:
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r1" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "dev-perl/Safe-2.09" [ebuild])
!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.56
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
|
I've been looking for the post-perl file (/usr/portage/eclass/post-perl.eclass), and I've found that it was removed from the CVS tree 5 hours ago with the message "folded perl-post functions into perl-module eclass -- was needless".
I'm not a portage expert, but I think that this means that all the ebuild files which inherit from perl-post will be broken, unless they're updated to inherit from perl-module... Am I right? If I'm not an this is an error on my machine, can someone help me to fix it?
Thank you in advance

Could be a broken filesystem...try unmounting the partition and check it for errors...I have seen that exact error in portage, and it was the reiserfs that was broke (could easily be fix though).
Let us know...
EDIT: U can probably see if it is an fs-error. Try "emerge sync"...if it fails then I bet its your fs.

Hi again,
emerge sync worked well (no errors), but... what's the difference between emerge sync and emerge rsync?

reiserfschk
However it has to run on an unmounted partition.

"emerge sync" is an alias for "emerge rsync", the latter is deprecated now because it creates some "problems" when you want to do something with the rsync package. |
