Portage + Python +??? = Nothing successfully installs

[ShadowHawkBV]

I did my normal eix-sync and emerge -uDvNa world today. Everything was fine. Since I updated the toolchain (glibc, Gcc, etc) I decided it's best to do an emerge -uDvNea system. It asked me to unmask sys-devel/libtool, sys-apps/sandbox, and app-admin/pessulus so it could continue. I did so and then ran it. It rebuilt portage, and gave me the following error:

It now gives me that error no matter what I try to emerge. It also fails doing python-updater with the same error.

Here's my emerge --info

I've looked on Bugzilla, and the answers there don't match the problem here. The problem there that kind of matches has an impossible fix as the file it says to edit (sudo vim /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_data.py) doesn't contain the line mentioned. (Sorry, I can't remember what the search term I used was to find it.)

Any help would be appreciated, as I can't really leave my box in this state.

If it's failing when saving the package, you should be able to work around that by disabling FEATURES="buildpkg". As for the actual error, could you please check your PKGDIR? Is there anything unusual there? What do you see if you run

Code: Select all

ls -l -R /samba/packages/

?

Seems to be normal to me.

If all it is is a problem with it creating packages after it builds, I can live without that easily.

Is /samba/packages a network mount? Your user/group ownership looks wrong. I would expect the files and directories to be owned by root.

I have posted what appears to be a similar problem, although I am not accessing files through samba. The main difference is that I get the same python error when I run

Code: Select all

emerge --info

so I can't post that information.

I'd assume from the /samba it is. The real issue is that we see chown issues (or any write/modify actions) failing. I don't think the file perms here are the issue since emerge runs as root.

Yes it is. But I have it set to be so promiscuous, any user on my internal land can read/write/execute anything there. I've had it running like that for ~3 years now. I initially thought that something had changed with samba/CIFS/ my SAN, but rolling it back didn't change the buildpkg problem. I'm not even sure if this would constitute a portage error, python error, or some other package.

As long as the workstation can continue functioning/updating, I'll have to dig into the cause later. Many thanks for the assistance to this point. I'll keep an eye on the forum, but I'll be unable to modify anything for a bit.
