New -upD system, fontconfig, & portage problem?

Message

wrc1944 · Post by **wrc1944** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 6:25 am

Just tried to do a -upD system, and got the following. I guess I'm looking for some answer as to how serious this is, and/or what I can do about it- or should I just wait. I had just done complete system and world updates yesterday with portage 2.0.50_pre14, with no problems, but then I saw pre16 was out today so I did that first. It's hard to understand where the problem is- pre16, fontconfig, baselayout, or xfree.

Thanks,

Same errors with world, except at the end there is this, instead of the baselayou problem:

I can post my emerge -upD system --debug bash output if need be.

Yeah I'm getting similiar problems. They seem to have started in the last 24 hours. But its not only with fontconfig.

Code: Select all

I've tried blowing away /usr/portage and re-syncing but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?

I get the same error now... sigh... any luck with a solution?

I had the same problem. The output with --debug was a good clue though.

All I had to do was edit the ebuild and delete the last line which contained

Code: Select all

^L`

Looks like the ebuild has got a bit corrupted.

EDIT: fwiw I also had to fix the following ebuilds for emerge -Dup world

libdvdcss-1.2.8 - line 23 delete the "t[tab]" before "then"

libgnomeprint-2.4.2 - change RDEPEND "pkgcoonfig" to "pkgconfig". This reported evolution as the problem ebuild but I found it in the end.

The latest is in kernel-2.eclass which looks to be truncated so I'm just going to have to try syncing until I get a clean one I guess.

I suppose I might be lucky and not have to refix the previous ebuilds.

wrc1944 · Post by **wrc1944** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 4:46 pm

There is no ^L` at the end of my fontconfig-2.2.1.ebuild file. Instead it has the following, but the very last line has an additional square box of dots right before the last ` symbol, that doesn't show up when I cut/paste into the forum. I'll try deleting that last line anyway, and see what happens.

May be something related to the rsync mirror troubles. Try `emerge --sync` again may help.

OK- removing that last line (although different from yours) worked for emerge -upD system- it now shows all updated (as it should be), and no errors:

mymachine wrc # emerge -upD system
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating system dependencies ...done!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, for emerge -upD world, I now get this:

mymachine wrc # emerge -upD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/media-libs/libmikmod/libmikmod-3.1.10-r1.ebuild: line 47: syntax error: unexpected end of file

--------------------------------------------------------
When I just do emerge -up world, I get this:

mymachine wrc # emerge -up world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Seems like the -D option for deep dependencies causes the problems. I've never run into these "syntax error: unexpected end of file" errors before! Any ideas, other than doing another sync, and seeing if it was just a corrupted emerge sync download on a few random ebuild files?

I've got mine all working now too

I had to delete kernel-2.eclass to make emerge sync give me a good one. At least emerge -Dup world completes anyway.

wrc1944 · Post by **wrc1944** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 6:15 pm

I just did a fresh emerge sync, and all emerge/portage problems are instantly resolved, so I surmise my problems were caused by a bad download. Probably others with these similar recent problems should resync.

I got a new mirror (automatically) this time. Before, when the problems occurred, I was only getting a "Bishop" mirror in Canada, and IIRC, it was an older system with only 10 users allowed, and obsolete hardware, and I did have to do multiple attempts to even get connected with emerge sync. I guess this makes a difference sometimes- probably more than we might think.

Here's the mirror I got this time.
