Portage output

[oKtosiTe]

Lately I've been getting some output that I've been unable to solve.

Code: Select all

$ /usr/sbin/regenworld
!!! Invalid atom: null/amule-2*
!!! Invalid atom: dev-lang/php-5*

I don't have either of these in my world file or in any of my /etc/portage/* files.

I've been unable to determine what ebuild /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstmodplug.la belongs to... I wish to remove all gstreamer related files from my installation.

Both are not big issues, but maybe I can learn something here.

It's okay to delete it.

to fix the first problem, did you try "emerge --sync && emerge portage"?

I wanted a second opinion. Gone.

That doesn't seem to help.

!!! Invalid atom: null/amule-2*
!!! Invalid atom: dev-lang/php-5*

Do either of these appear in your /var/log/emerge.log ?

FWIW, the diagnostic appears to be issued from within /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_dep.py.

No, only on stdout.

Okay, I looked at portage_dep.py 'cause I'm at loose ends this evening.

The "Invalid atom:" error message is issued when the get_operator internal function fails to find a valid operator on a particular dependency. In your case, the dep:

dev-lang/php-5*

should instead be prefixed with one of =<>. Now where regenworld is picking up these strings without leading =<> is beyond me.

Just for grins, could you do:

Code: Select all

cd /var/db/pkg
grep -R "php-5\*" *

and see whether all occurrences of php-5* have valid operators in your database? I don't know if the portage db functions look in there for dependencies.

Here's my output:

Code: Select all

So, I'm still getting this:

Code: Select all

$ /usr/sbin/regenworld
!!! Invalid atom: null/amule-2*
!!! Invalid atom: dev-lang/php-5*

[oKtosiTe]

Code: Select all

# regenworld
!!! Invalid atom: null/amule-2*
* mysql is an ambigous package name, candidates are:
['dev-db/mysql', 'virtual/mysql']
!!! Invalid atom: dev-lang/php-5*
* >mysql-5.0 is an ambigous package name, candidates are:
['dev-db/mysql', 'virtual/mysql']

I'm still seeing this:
