 Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2015 5:20 pm Post subject: Completely broken layman... Help? |
 |
|
So I've been working on installing ROS (Robot Operating System) on my Gentoo computer. I have been doing a lot of work and created an overlay and got really close. Then I installed an upgraded version of pip. Installing the packages I installed with my overlay with pip 7.4.1 completed broke layman. 
| Code: |
allenh1@tuxbox ~ $ sudo layman -S
Password:
ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib.
No module named 'wstool'
|
wstool is one of the packages. I have uninstalled everything related to ros and reinstalled layman. I think Python got seriously messed up here. Anyone have any words of wisdom? |

| Did you forget to delete all /var/lib/layman stuff? |

I did! But, unfortunately, that didn't help. I did the following:
| Code: | # emerge -C layman
# rm -rf /var/lib/layman
# emerge layman
|
and this was at the very end of the emerge.
| Code: | >>> Installing (1 of 1) app-portage/layman-2.2.0-r7
* Running layman-updater...

This is pretty obnoxious. I still don't know how things got this broken. I suspect python got messed up somehow. |

| There are several threads here about running pip as root and how it breaks portage, with solutions. |

Figured it out. All I needed to do was
| Code: | # emerge -C python-exec
#emerge python-exec
|
and layman is back to normal. |
