Not a Gentoo guy, inherited this server, Googled for hours

Hi, Gentoo is a bit out of my depth :/ I really tried searching everywhere for a solution but I haven't come any closer. I inherited a very old server at a client's site. My boss put me in charge of upgrading it (it hasn't been upgraded since 2012...) so I've gotten a few things to upgrade but now I'm stuck getting portage to upgrade to an EAPI 6 version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (sorry I'm not a Gentoo person :/) the package which seems to keep giving me hard blocks is ncurses.

When I try to ncurses 6.0rc1 via emerge it starts the configure then files with this output:

Code: Select all

 * IMPORTANT: 28 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.


 * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
 * man page to learn how to update config files.
Calculating dependencies  ....... done!

if I go into the sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/work/dist dir and do a ./configure and a make and a make install it all works fine...so I don't really know what's going wrong...

You may want to check out this thread. There are more threads like this, they all reach the same conclusion.

My boss put me in charge of upgrading it (it hasn't been upgraded since 2012...)

Don't upgrade. Reinstall from scratch. Will be faster and easier... and if you're not a gentoo guy, you may also consider migrating to something else at the same time.
Don't take me wrong, gentoo is really cool, but heterogenous environments are always high-maintenance ones, and you made it sound like this particular server was a singleton, so why won't you just get rid of it?

Yea, I may end up doing that man, I really would love me some CentOS or Debian right now lol

thanks for the help guys, I'll give it another 8 cups of coffee and if it's not solved by then I'll nuke and pave.

Upgrading from ncurses 5.9 to 6.0 on its own is a suicide mission likely to break /bin/bash, *even if* you know what you're doing. Much better to wipe it and start clean.

Just to offer a different take on this, it is entirely possible to do the necessary updates if you must keep the system running instead of being allowed to take it down for a rebuild, and if you do go that route you should be able to deal with virtually any problem that you might encounter with the system later. The trick to it is twofold: grab a series of snapshots from cvs and clone yourself a copy of the git repo from which you can then pull snapshots locally (the two VCS are due to a changeover between them since that system last got an update), then update system through the snapshots (one every six months should be quite manageable).

Also...

Do that.

Not that. But if you really need to (you really do not need to) we could help you do that right too.

My boss put me in charge of upgrading it (it hasn't been upgraded since 2012...) so I've gotten a few things to upgrade but now I'm stuck getting portage to upgrade to an EAPI 6 version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (sorry I'm not a Gentoo person :/) the package which seems to keep giving me hard blocks is ncurses.

When I try to ncurses 6.0rc1 via emerge it starts the configure then files with this output:

The ncurses update is a nightmare in itself. If you can (i.e., if you dont need specifically ncurses-6 for some reason), avoid it for now until everything else is fixed. You could for example put (for the moment, NOT long-term)

Code: Select all

>sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r5

in /etc/portage/package.mask.

About getting a EAPI=6 capable portage. The trick is that portage/emerge is able to run "uninstalled". So what you can try is to grab the tarball of the latest stable portage release, unpack it somewhere (/root/temporary-portage/...), cd into that directory, and run the emerge file from in there by providing its exact path. This, of course, understands EAPI=6, and may be able to update your system, including the installed portage. (You may encounter other unrelated problems. 4 years is way beyond the usual update cycle.)
