When I run a emerge world, I get this error:

...

AttributeError: vartree instance has no attribute 'invalidentry'

Also I have this problem http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=105082, but can't fix it.

Any ideas?

kKDu and Lolo, the following thread may be of interest to you in resolving the problem:

do let me know whether the above resolves it.

I don't use the same version of python as in the thread you mentioned (no duplicates in the 2 directories)

Code: Select all

>python -V
Python 2.3.2

>emerge -V
Portage 2.0.49-r18 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.0-test9-mm5)

I have no /usr/lib/portage/pym, also no duplicates, too.

I managed to solve my problems :
- I had python 2.2.3 and 2.3.2 installed so I unmerged the 2.3.2
- I removed all "-MERGING-*" files and directory in /var/db/pkg/
- I ran /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py
and voilà !

Edit: no need to unmerge python-2.3.2, emerge still uses python-2.2.3

that's intersting Lolo, I did an etcat -v python, which among other things showed that two versions of python are installed in my box

Code: Select all

*  dev-lang/python :
        [   ] dev-lang/python-2.1.3-r1 (2.1)
        [   ] dev-lang/python-2.2.1-r5 (2.2)
        [   ] dev-lang/python-2.2.2 (2.2)
        [   ] dev-lang/python-2.2.3 (2.2)
        [   ] dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r1 (2.2)
        [  I] dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r5 (2.2)
        [ ~I] dev-lang/python-2.3.2-r2 (2.3)

I wonder whether it would be safe to umerge the older one. I am not having any of the emerge problem which some of you on this thread are having.

don't unmerge python 2.2.3, emerge depends on it ! the 2.3.2 ebuild says :

Python 2.2 is still installed and can be accessed via /usr/bin/python2.2.
Portage-2.0.49-r8 and below will continue to use python-2.2.x, so
think twice about uninstalling it, otherwise your system will break.

I have re-emerged the 2.3.2 and all works fine, so I think it was due to some mess in /var/db/pkg

I removed all "-MERGING-*" files and directory in /var/db/pkg/

Thanks this helps.

Hi!
I get a simmler error. it goes:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 78, in ?
    import portage
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6128, in ?

    elif myportapi.match(x):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'match'

I get it al the time! when I try 'emerge -pvU world' , 'etcat -v python' and when I try '/usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py', I always get the same error.

Any idias?

hrmm....I've run /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py and according to /var/log/emerge_fix-db.log It didn't have to fix anything.

i'm not sure why my system is puking when portage tries to use the world file..any hints would be appiciated

emerge world error
