 Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2003 4:27 am Post subject: Portage "Global Update" Error? |
 |
|
Hi I'm still very new to Gentoo (And Linux in general). Just moved to it from Debian a few days ago and I'm liking it. However, I recently performed an emerge sync and everything seemed to go well, but I got this message at the end:
| Code: |
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/.frozen
(Could take a couple minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
portage: Update type "robbat2" not recognized.
|
Now, it seems that if I do anything Portage related, I get this message again, (Eg, running emerge -s <some package> prints the above message before continuing) along with the normal expected output for that command. (although, I haven't actually tried to emerge something because I'm scared that I might break something now.
First of all, what is this message telling me? Is it bad? Or should I just ignore it? What is this "Update type 'robbat2'?" Secondly, if it is bad, how can/should I fix it?
I don't know if it's applicable, but my Portage is version 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4)
Please forgive me if this question was already answered, I couldn't seem to find anything when searching...

I have the same thing. In the meantime I found this thread. Also, my /usr/portage/profiles/updates/.frozen file has just one entry, robbat2:
| Code: | # cat /usr/portage/profiles/updates/.frozen
robbat2
|
Unfortunately, removing that file does nothing, as the very next emerge sync will re-create it ... |

Hmm, so this is a problem on their side? When portage is fixed, another emerge sync should fix this then? But in the meantime, can I still emerge packages without breaking portage even more?
