 Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2002 10:04 pm Post subject: up to 2.0.8 worked... |
 |
|
When I updated my system, this is what I'd do:
| Code: |
emerge -u portage
etc-update
emerge clean
emerge rsync
emerge -u world
etc-update
emerge clean
emerge rsync
emerge -u world...
|
Starting with portage, and then updating everything until I got an error because of no packages to update.
Sometimes if I rsync enough, things that appeared broken start working.
Now, if I can rely on the digests and tarballs in my /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files directory, the last version that worked was 2.0.5. Upgrading from that to 2.0.8 worked fine, but after the upgrade, I got this error from 'emerge -u world':
| Code: |
Calculating world dependencies /Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1227, in ?
if not mydepgraph.syscreate(getworldlist()):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 513, in syscreate
if not self.create(self.match(myline,mykey="update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry)")):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 410, in create
edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2565, in aux_get
self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]
IndexError: list index out of range
|
I get a similar error from 'emerge -u system' but not from 'emerge -u xbill' -- straight 'emerge foo' seems to work, searching works, and cleaning (and therefore unmerging) works. But updating doesn't work.
Since emerging a single package seems to work, I will try to downgrade for the time being.
EDIT: Wierd. After downgrading to 2.0.5, then upgrading to 2.0.8 (to double-check before submitting a bug report), it works. Yet another of Gentoo's little oddities. Once again, sometimes just retrying in various ways will fix it.

|
|
'ebuild' no longer exists anywhere on my system, I think there is something wrong with 2.0.8.
Since there is no portage* in /usr/portage/distfiles how does one *fix* this when you don't have another machine to copy over a working version of the portage scripts? |

| I think portage 2.0.8 still has problem. Emerge single package is OK, but I have a common error "index out of range" if I do something else such as emerge -p -u world , or even emerge to an old portage version. |

I agree. Portage 2.0.8 fixed a bunch of stuff from 2.0.5 - 2.0.7, but there are still problems.
Just re-emerged 2.0.8 (had been using 2.0.4) and emerge -pu world causes python errors (index out of range), as does emerge -pe world, as does emerge -pe system (not, it seems, emerge -pu system).
Could this be a problem with my world database? Other than that I can't think of anything off hand that would be wrong. Rsyncing doesn't help me.

If you take a look at
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-src/portage/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&
you can see that there are many changes in portage every day and as far as I remember portage 2.0.0 was released with a notice that it's release so early because there are so many problems with the old version (or whatever can't remember  ) so 2.0.0 was doomed, too...
I guess with 2.0.9 or 2.0.10 it's ok for all people again and shows how well it is  |

| I just installed Gentoo about four hours ago onto a friend's computer and Portage 2.0.8 works fully with no errors. (Including emerge -ep world, etc.) |

Portage 2.0.8 is broken for me with errors as Dolio has. Delta - do you know why it would work fine on a fresh install?
Cheers

Maybe the Portage database upgrade fudged some stuff... I'm not sure, because it installed with Portage 1.9.something but I upgraded to Portage 2.0.8 shortly thereafter, so I really have no idea. It was the 1.2 stage 3 tarball with a handful of packages were installed (syslog-alike, cron-alike, etc.), so...
Yeah, I have no idea. But Portage 2.0.8 isn't completely broken, just mostly. |

Yeah 2.0.8 is broke too 
It can install some packages, but runs into python errors on about half of everything else... just happened to b0rk itself on the nvidia drivers right after updating my kernel heh...
It *did* however work well enough to install 2.0.9, haven't had any problems with it. (yet)
is there a limit to the number of packages you can have installed with 2.0.8 etc? |

Take care. 2.0.8 is also broken in that way, that when you try to unmerge older prortage versions you'll end up with a non-functional 2.0.8.

I emerged from 2.0.4 to 2.0.8 to see if it was fixed but it wasn't so I unmerged 2.0.8 only to find that somehow my 2.0.4 and 2.0.8 were both unprotected, can you guess what happened?

I switched from 2.0.4 to 2.0.9 today. I just did an emerge -bu world and a emerge -c world afterwards ..
everything works, portage 2.0.9 is installed now and an emerge -pu world shows nothing - as expected but also no more errors. Seems everything is the way it used to be before 2.0.5

|
|
July 1st I did an rsync and updated portage among other things. I landed
on portage 2.0.8 and began to get the follow error, for practically every emerge command option I tried.
bash-2.05a# emerge -u world -p
Calculating dependencies \Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1259, in ?
if not mydepgraph.create(mytype+" "+portage.root+" "+mykey,None,"--onlydeps" not in myopts):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 410, in create edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2565, in aux_get
self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]
IndexError: list index out of range
On July 2, I rsynced again to find that portage 2.0.9 was available. Following various suggestions on this list I tried a variety of emerge comands, most of which still led to the error message above. emerge xscreensaver did work, however. So I tried emerge -u portage -p, which mercifully worked, showing a Python dependency also. emerge -u portage then worked and I have had no further trouble with emerge commands since.
Thanks for all the invaluable suggestions. You guys make Gentoo the painless way to be on the bleeding edge.

Anyone else having luck with portage-2.0.9? I'm still on 2.0.3 because of all the issues.
Versions 2.0.5, .8 and .9 are the only ones left on my system, so I've been avoiding an
upgrade.
As a side note, the Portage ChangeLog is now showing 2.0.10, but isn't appearing after
an rsync.

Ditto. 2.0.9 is good.

I noticed something on a gentoo install, I mistakenly had an extra ' on one line in my make.conf and emerge crapped out just like if portage was broken.
.: Just a little FYI

2.0.11 seems to have quieted down this thread, so I'm unsticking it.

Opinion about Portage Dev.
Yes, ok. Portage 2.x its better than Portage 1.x but i dont like the RPM philosophy, bugs and failed installs, because the RPM tools always its diffent in a new release of RedHat or Mandrake  And it works always equal.
Regards..
My 5 cents
