[Aurisor]

Try an emerge sync?

[ank]

I have try emerge sync already. Didnt help. Only thing i can emerge is binutils.

[Lloeki]

emerge -e system ? emerge -e world ?

[ank]

emerge -e system or emerge -e world dont work either.

[ank]

This is how i somehow solve the problem:

From Sabayon Live-DVD i copy Installation/db/pkg/* to /var/db/pkg/

Now i can emerge what i want again. I just need to clean world. emaint -c world show some packages are not installed but they are and some packages want to upgrade which are not installed.

Propaby this is not the best thing i have done but will be much less work to do to get system to normal than if i emerge all again.


If anybody have some suggestion let post it.

[Lloeki]

well, you should certainly emerge -e world then emerge --depclean to be consistent

[hielvc]

Well its to late for you to test this, but I just finished writing a script to regenerate /var/dp/pkg/cat/pkg-version using your /var/log/emerge.log . I went to test it on a stage3 I have, removed /var/db/pkg/* ( move to /root/org ). I then ran "emerge system -uDp " and it didnt complain at all. So I ran my script which repopulated /var/db/pkg reran emerge. Ok here are some numbers

NO /var/db/pkg
emerge system -uDp|wc
120 748 7647 ==> 120 new pkgs
After running the script UPDATED 1-12-06
emerge system -uDpq
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-3.2-r2
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.60
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.9.6-r2
[ebuild NS ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.4
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/man-1.6d
[ebuild NS ] net-misc/openssh-4.4_p1-r5
[ebuild NS ] sys-apps/kbd-1.12-r8

After putting the org /var/db/pkg listing back
emerge system -uDqp
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-3.2-r2 [3.2]
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.60 [2.59-r7]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.4 [5.94-r1]
[ebuild U ] net-misc/openssh-4.4_p1-r5 [4.3_p2-r5]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/kbd-1.12-r8 [1.12-r7]
[ebuild NS ] sys-devel/automake-1.5

If your running portage-2.1.2-r1 or maybe r1-rc3 and above, as I said above, portage didnt even blink. It ran emerge system -uDp an gave the above list with NO /var/db/pkg. I leave it to you to test. The one thing you can do with script is give a date such as " nov 5 2006" or "Nov 06 2006" or epoch date from emerge.log " 1162971562 " and it will list everything built since then. It accepts -p , pretend and -d to make /var/db/pkg , then the date string if you want to. No flags an it prints usage. EX: rcvr_var_db_pkg.sh -p nov 2 2006 . It will list everything on and from Nov 2. Oh if you dont know you can name it whatever you want and then chmod a+x <name>.

Heres the script. 10-1-07 Cleaned and added minor changes. I had a chance to test this on a stage1 to stage3. It works with Portage 2.1.3.9.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# hielvc 11-11-06 as usual use at ye own risk. It works for me but not
# always for the right reason, right heavyjoost ;^)

If this happens to you, you should "emerge world -e" after running the script to fully fill out /var/db/pkg/cat/pkg-version/files. The files can only be gotten by running emerge. Why well for one reason -N wont work until you do.

[hielvc]

I dony think your prob has to do with /var/db/pkg .Try Doing a search of the Search useing " invalid literal for long(): " and select the "Portage & Pergramming forum " There were alot of hits. I usually start reading the post with the fewest replies in first 20 to 30 returned.

This mistake appears after performance of a script.
If to copy /var/db/pkg from stage1 that it is not present, but there is no also a correct base of ports:)
Why after performance of a script of a folder/var/db/pkg/*/* empty? In the same place there should be data. How it to fix?

Im not sure what your doing.
1 A stage1 does have /var/db/pkg/<blah>

2 A stage1 doesnt have a /var/log/emerge.log so the script wouldnt generate anything.

3 If you screw up a stage1 just mkfs /dev/partition or if its a chroot directory, rm -r chroot_Dir/* and redo it.

4 As I stated in my post where I posted the script with portage-2.1.2 it no longer seems to be needed.
Prior to 2.1.2 if you removed /var/db/pkg you were dead as far portage was concerned.

5 As stated in the above post the script just gives you the directory tree, To fill in the files you have to emerge each package as the files are a record of your emerge enviroment at the time the package is built. When you remove /var/db/pkg all that info is lost. Unless you have a backup there is no reasonable way to get it back. To regenerate it for your current enviroment you have to re-emerge the all the packages, which is done most easily by "emerge world -e". This is true even if you have no probs after removing /var/db/pkg and your useing >=portage-2.1.2. This is one of the places where emerge gets the info it needs when you use -N, --newuse flag.

[Lok]

I modified this script a little, have added check on time, for packages which left in system, for example in your script if the package has been removed and then is again established, does not get in the general leaf cat_pkg.lst, also automated a few calculation of the version in file SLOT, the truth works not so well, but more less... It is necessary for emerge that true decisions U UD NS R made... Excuse, but the script is not optimized

And still, emerge why that cannot finish installation of a package without file CONTENTS, at a stage merging there is a stop.

# emerge --info
Portage 2.1.2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 i686)
=================================================================

Therefore it will be logical to create this file, having executed a script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
find /var/db/pkg/*/*/SLOT > 1
sed 's/SLOT/CONTENTS/' 1 >2
w=$(cat 2)
touch $w

I get that too. after using that script.

[Lok]

return long (self.aux_get (mycpv, ["COUNTER"]) [0])

Means that the file/var/db/*/*/COUNTER or is absent, or empty.
In this script http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-38 ... ml#3861893 are lines:

awk '{print $0 "/COUNTER"}' cat_pkg.lst> cat_pkg1.lst
......
touch /var/db/pkg/$cat_pkg1
....
`find ./ -name COUNTER > 5`
`sed 's/^/echo "1" > /' 5 > 55`
`chmod +x 55 && ./55`

create this file containing "1" , means this mistake:

After rebuild this file recovery.

[discostu]

I had a separate partition for "/var" It got corrupted and I lost everything in var. All I have are the portage tree and the ccache. I was able to restore some files via the script using the emerge system technique with the regenpkgdb script (though I added --nodeps to the script because otherwise it spit out circular dependency errors).

Is there anyway to restore more of portage? Or am I just gonna have to rebuild everything?

[Dan]

emerge -e system && emerge -e world

[jsosic]

How to recover portage pkg db? Is it possible? Thank you

So....

Im building my own Gentoo LiveCD on my system, and during the process, I mount --bind /usr/portage into the usr/portage directory of the liveCD, to avoid having two trees and distfiles on my system. I know its not the safest thing to do... but. I've been doing this for about two months now and have recompiled the LiveCD dozens of times. Never had any problems. The worst problem I'd encounter is when I'd forget to umount the liveCD's usr/portage directory before deleting the sources. This would delete my host system's tree and distfiles. But nothing a eix-sync -v (or emerge --sync) cant fix.

This time though, I didnt forget the do the umount, but now the contents of /var/db/pkg have been deleted and I have no idea why! I automate the LiveCD process with two scripts, and none of them even touch that directory..

So now I cant do anything with emerge. Is there a way to re-generate the contents of this directory?

Thanks,

[nixnut]

merged above post here. please search before posting.

[bob doe]

Cheers. I did do a search for '/var/db/pkg' but nothing came up. Maybe the search function doesnt like symbols?

[nixnut]

yeah, the search feature kinda sucks. Here's a tip for firefox users.

[bob doe]

Disregard, I was just being dumb (its been a long day in my defense)
