after an upgrade 5 minutes ago (only 4 packages, but bash among them)

i'm getting the same error for these 3 packages:

for example, kuroo

So, how about one of those logs it's telling you to include? I suspect the answer might be in there. Post one here and let us see.

edit: log too big

What stuff did you just upgrade? glibc, gcc, anything else vital?

Try doing a "source /etc/profile" just as a sanity check.

If that doesn't work, let's see your make.conf and stuff. Any odd packages have ~x86 set?

Try to find a small package that won't build, include the config.log from that. That kdiff one is fairly large.

did not solve the problem.

i'm in ~x86 (all)

i'm now able to emerge knsynaptics, kio-locate and maybe more. i will try more.
However, the bigendian error is the same for both, isn't this a bit strange?

update: the third
kgtk fails with the same error

code fragment near the error

Code: Select all

if test ! -s $srcdir/subdirs; then
  TOPSUBDIRS=""
  files=`cd $srcdir && ls -1`
  dirs=`for i in $files; do if test -d $i; then echo $i; fi; done` <------------ probably here
  for i in $dirs; do
    echo $i >> $srcdir/subdirs
  done
fi

downgrading bash solved

bash-3.2 broken!!!

jarealist · Post by **jarealist** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 4:50 am

I caught that on one of my laptops before I rebooted. The other one died at devpts during boot - something about no tmpfs selected in my kernel.

You should post a bug at Bugs Gentoo

PrakashP · Post by **PrakashP** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:14 am

I had the same problem here on my amd64 machine. Downgrading bash solved it. For me kate and konsole's configure exposed the bug.

You're running ~x86 all?

How do I downgrade again?

Hi,

well it's just like with all new bash-version in portage (doesn't anyone remember when bash-3.0 or bash-3.1 were new in portage?). When new bash-versions from upstream arrive in portage, they most likely break some/many bash-scripts.
So don't complain, but report the errors @ bugzilla. That's the only way to get new bash-versions fixed. For the brave user out there, just check ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/bash-3.2-patches/ frequently for new patches and include them in the bash-ebuild (or wait until some dev has time to fix this in portage). If you are not brave just mask bash-3.2 until it becomes stable

Code: Select all

echo "=bash-3.2* -~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

(replace x86 with your arch).

Cheers

no bash 3.2 is no more in portage tree

Polynomial-C · Post by **Polynomial-C** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 3:03 am

Hi,

Code: Select all

gamemaster@breakmygentoo:~> grep -B 2 bash /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
# Sebastian Bergmann <sebastian@gentoo.org> (13 Oct 2006)
# See bug #151108.
=app-shells/bash-3.2_p1
gamemaster@breakmygentoo:~>

bash-3.2 is still in portage but it's p.masked...

Cheers

Hi,

alright, bash-3.2_p3 went into testing branch...
Let's see if this version sucks as bad as the prevoius one

And don't forget... don't complain if something breaks but report the bugs.

Yea, still has issues with baselayout. Trouble with /sbin/poweroff & /sbin/reboot. INIT seems to get confused with /proc when trying to remount filesystems as readonly. This happens on my x86 & x86_64 boxes. It appears someone already posted a similar bug on the previous version. I tried rewriting some runlevel scripts & really made a mess. Downgrading to the prev version was the only solution I found that will work. Anyone else?

Hi,

Code: Select all

gamemaster@breakmygentoo:~> grep -B 1 bash /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (1 Nov 2006)
# Mask all of bash 3.2 till it will be completely fixed
=app-shells/bash-3.2*

well, that was (again) a short guest performance of bash-3.2

I wonder how long it will take for this bash-version to mature to usability...

UPDATE: Well, app-shells/bash-3.2_p3-r1 seems to have corrected all of my concerns posted above; along with a sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.6 update.

Hi,

well I wonder what happens when I gotta reboot one of my ~x86 machines now.
Best would be nothing extraordinary, but who knows
