 |
|
Hi,
I'm having a weird issue with layman and don't know how to fix it. The problem is that the executable doesn't behave like it should do, as it doesn't really like any of the options I use (-a, --list, -S).
| Code: | server ~ # layman -L
usage: layman [options] requirement_or_url ...
or: layman --help
error: option -L not recognized |
If I run the --help option, I get a totally different set of options than layman should have:
| Code: | server ~ # layman --help
Global options:
--verbose (-v) run verbosely (default)
--quiet (-q) run quietly (turns verbosity off)
--dry-run (-n) don't actually do anything
--help (-h) show detailed help message
--no-user-cfg ignore pydistutils.cfg in your home directory
Options for 'easy_install' command:
--prefix installation prefix
--zip-ok (-z) install package as a zipfile
--multi-version (-m) make apps have to require() a version
--upgrade (-U) force upgrade (searches PyPI for latest versions)
--install-dir (-d) install package to DIR
--script-dir (-s) install scripts to DIR
--exclude-scripts (-x) Don't install scripts
--always-copy (-a) Copy all needed packages to install dir
--index-url (-i) base URL of Python Package Index
--find-links (-f) additional URL(s) to search for packages
--build-directory (-b) download/extract/build in DIR; keep the results
--optimize (-O) also compile with optimization: -O1 for "python -
O", -O2 for "python -OO", and -O0 to disable
[default: -O0]
--record filename in which to record list of installed
files
--always-unzip (-Z) don't install as a zipfile, no matter what
--site-dirs (-S) list of directories where .pth files work
--editable (-e) Install specified packages in editable form
--no-deps (-N) don't install dependencies
--allow-hosts (-H) pattern(s) that hostnames must match
--local-snapshots-ok (-l) allow building eggs from local checkouts
--version print version information and exit
--no-find-links Don't load find-links defined in packages being
installed
--user install in user site-package
'/root/.local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages'
usage: layman [options] requirement_or_url ...
or: layman --help |
I've check where is the executable it is trying to use and it seems it's a link pointing to a python executable:
| Code: | server ~ # whereis layman
layman: /usr/bin/layman /etc/layman /usr/share/man/man8/layman.8.bz2
server ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/layman
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Dec 13 13:05 /usr/bin/layman -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2 |
I've tried to reinstall both layman and python, the reinstalls finish without any problems, but I'm still facing the same issue. Any idea how to fix this behaviour? |

Yes those are the options easy_install and not layman.
easy_install and layman both point to the same python-exec. Did you update python recently? |

I installed python 3.3, but I've got as active python 2.7
| Code: | server ~ # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7 *
[2] python3.2
[3] python3.3 |
Could that be the issue? |
