Upgrading from EAPI 7 to EAPI 8 fails miserably

[zdavatz]

I wrote a summary of the problem here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/949486

I am trying to upgrade portage from EAPI 7 to EAPI 8 an I am landing in Python dependency Hell.

I did this:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo/de
and this:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fix_my_Gentoo

I managed to generate all the necessary binary packages according to above gudis. I rebooted into my system and now I do:

Code: Select all

emerge --nodeps --oneshot --binpkg-changed-deps=n python-exec

This results in:

>>> Emerging binary (1 of 1) dev-lang/python-exec-2.4.10::gentoo
>>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 running                Load avg: 0.63, 0.51, 0.44================================================================================================

I also tried this, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo/de but it does not work.

Portage upgrade almost went through but then failed because you can only upgrade portage with Python 11 that supports "distfiles."

I am happy to test more, if you can give me a pointer how to get around the EAPI 7 to EAPI 8 boundaries.

The current version of portage supports EAPI '7'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.

(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge

Also this seems funky and undocumented:

man portage

Code: Select all

eapi
    The first line of this file specifies the EAPI to which files in the same directory conform. See ebuild(5) for information about EAPI and related features. Beginning with EAPI 5, new USE configuration files are supported: use.stable.mask, use.stable.force, package.use.stable.mask and package.use.stable.force. These files behave similarly to previously supported USE configuration files, except that they only influence packages that are merged due to a stable keyword.

    If the eapi file does not exist, then the EAPI defaults to 0 unless the default has been overridden by a profile_eapi_when_unspecified setting inside metadata/layout.conf of the containing repository. 

I am assuming that the contents of that file, eapi, refers to all the use configuration files in that directory (/etc/portage). The current portage configuration files that are supported were introduced in EAPI 5 and I would guess they have not changed much (if at all) since. The contents of that file are the same on my machine and I assume they are normal and have no bearing on your issues.

[bstaletic]

You've tried a lot of things, but it reads like you did not quite understand the consequences of some/all steps you took.
This leads to a very confusing state for anyone coming here to help you.

So let's take a few (dozens?) steps back and see where you are.
Your portage is 3.0.14, which is 4 years old: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit ... 13e9b6801a
Does that mean this is your first upgrade in 4 years? If so, you should have come here for advice before attempting anything.

Ok, I set my profile to:

eselect profile set 45

why is my EAPI Version in

cat /etc/portage/make.profile/eapi

showing

5 and not 8?

That file is just about the profile. It has nothing to do with ebuilds or /usr/bin/emerge.
You also shouldn't have touched profile 23.0 until you were completely up to date, so I have to ask.

How far did you get through the porfile 23.0 upgrade documentation before you got stuck again?

Judging from your traceback, you're trying to use python 3.7 portage. The last portage that supported python 3.7 was 3.0.24 and I'd be hesitant upgrading beyond that point. At least not in one go.

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

We need to discover what you have done, possibly undo some/all of if then start the update again.
Do nothing else until we understand that.

Please put /var/log/emerge.log onto a pastebin.

Code: Select all

wgetpaste /var/log/emerge.log

Will do that. You may need to install wgetpaste and play with the -s -S options.
We need the last 5 or 6 years worth of data if it won't all fit.

Its a log of every package installed and failures since the install began.

The older an install, the more your learn from doing the update. After 12 months without an update, it can get very educational :)

There really seems no easy way to upgrade your Gentoo System. ;(

To make that very clear: It is *your* [whatever] system.

Even in the bug this user wants us to believe this is a Gentoo system, however:

How far did you get through the porfile 23.0 upgrade documentation before you got stuck again?

Problem is, that even the portage-3.0.66.1-r1-1.gpkg.tar I generated via the Rescue Boot will not install ;(.

I followed these instructions:

I am happy to test some commands so others can learn as well from the process.

zdavatz,


Good, that's your entire emerge history

Started emerge on: Jan 17, 2012 12:59:14

Don't ever use

Code: Select all

 --autounmask

of any sort. It tells portage to guess what you want.
Sometimes it unmasks live ebuilds and make a real mess.
Use --autounmask options with --pretend if you want to see portages guess without doing any harm.
If you like it, you can always act on it.

It looks like you last successful @world update was

You have not used

Code: Select all

--oneshot

when you should have, so your world fille is polluted with things that should be pulled in as dependencies of other things.
Portage then keeps all this junk around when it should be depcleaned.

We need to clean up your world file. Mk1 eyeball will do to start.
Please post /var/lib/portage/world
Not on OneDrive if you can help it. wgetpaste produces something much easier to use for your readers.

Also post the entire output of

Code: Select all

cat /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords  /etc/portage/package.unmask  /etc/portage/package.use

They may be files or directories. We need every entry so that we can see what --autounmask has done. We may need to undo some or all of it

The plan of attack is to
1, Clean up your world world pollution
2. Try to fix what --autounmask has done. On your stable

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64"

system, nothing like that should ever be required.
3. Return to the /17.1/. I'm not sure what that involves yet.
4. Get a portage snapshot from Sep 24, 2016 or just after and try to replicate you success then.
6. Do approximately 6 month steps until we get to today.
7. Do the /17.1/ to /23.0/ profile update.

Its going to take time and be very educational. If you want to update, this is the way to go. A reinstall will be much faster.
You will not be able to use a BINHOST until we are nearly current. The packages won't be there.

We need to clean up your world file. Mk1 eyeball will do to start.
Please post /var/lib/portage/world

Also post the entire output of

I am really curious why this is happening:

https://dpaste.com/C25VKVAC6

this is very confusing: meson-format-array: no python-exec wrapped executable found in /usr/lib/python-exec.

Also why is python 3.11 needed to emerge the latest portage version? Python3.11 uses distutils and Python 3.12 does not use it anymore.

The hint is in the dev-libs name. Things that need these libraries will depend on them.

dev-util/* are mostly dependencies or @system members. Leave them just now.

Thats going to make a mess when gimp-3 is unmasked. Remove media-gfx/gimp:2

media-libs/* are pulled in my whatever needs them and should not be in the world file.

net-im/teams was in ::gentoo for a while. Its gone now.

net-libs/* are libraries ...

net-misc/youtube-dl has gone.

net-vpn/wireguard-modules was merged into the kernel a while ago.

sys-apps/portage is part of @system

sys-boot/lilo is dead on its feet. It will not support UEFI and development has stopped. Keep using it if it works.
sys-boot/syslinux is another boot loader. You can only use one at a time.

Virtuals should never be in world they are a trick to allow portage to choose between two or more options. If the virtual is not satisfied the first listed option will be installed.

www-client/google-chrome-beta::browser-kit ... Funtoo.

x11-base/xorg-drivers comes from your VIDEO_CARDS settings. It should not be in world.
Likewise x11-drivers is controlled by VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES.

x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
have both been removed, portage will fail trying to keep them.

x11-libs/* are libs ...

all the Funtoo remontants and all the things that should not be there.
We will be going back to the end of 2016. The things that have been removed my be around then, so don't forget about them as they will need to be removed sometime.

I'm bound to have missed some but the script that does the checking is very slow. It has a lot of dependencies to attempt to resolve.

I'll look at

Code: Select all

next.

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

Your /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords does not make sense.

Code: Select all

x11-libs/libdrm

>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.8.0-r1001 icu
>=app-text/cpdf-2.2.1_p20171122

You should not have USE flags or licences there. They have their own directories/files.

/etc/portage/package.unmask

Code: Select all

=dev-lang/python-3.5.1-r2

Its safer to use the slot rather than version

Code: Select all

dev-lang/python:3.5

allows any python-3.5 to be installed, so you get updates.

This file is for unmasking hard masked packages. They are often not keyworded either, so entries in two files are required to be able to use them.

Why are

Code: Select all

=dev-lang/python-3.12*
=dev-lang/python-3.11*
=dev-lang/python-3.13*
=dev-build/meson-format-array-0

listed?

Its harmless for now but I don't understand the intent of most of the entries.

Read about the files in /etc/portage/ in

zdavatz,

next.

Thank you!

You do not need to worry about Gimp, Inkscape, Gnucash, Libreoffice, et all, as I can install that easily using Flatpak.

The only things that matter are:

1. Portage
2. GCC
3. Cmake
4. Glibc

I am running the latest Kernel no problem. But above four should just be dead easy to upgrade.

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

Not really.
They all depend on other things and those other things have dependences and so on.
Is possible to pull those packages out of a stage3 tarball ... but they won't work on your install because the dependencies will be wrong.

Its all complicated by being a Funtoo install too.

The way ahead is to regress the ::gentoo repo to the end of Sepember 2016 and run an

Code: Select all

emerge -uDUav @world

that successfully updates a small number of packages.
That will involve moving back to the /17.1/ profile os the /23.0/ profile did not exist then.
If /17.1/ is missing when we regress, we can move forward to the earliest /17.1/ profile.

With your last world update being September 2016. I have my doubts about /17.0/ or /17.1/ profiles being in the ::gentoo repro.
I have my doubts about the upgrade steps ever being followed.
It will be interesting to see what profiles are available in ::gentoo at that date.

At 2016-09-30, its the /13.0/ profile in ::gentoo, so how did you upgrade past that?

Yes, that is why I am interested to now why my portage emerge fails, and why this can not go through:

A lot seems to depend on this overly complicated setup, IMHO:

[Administrator edit: added [code] tags to preserve output layout. -Hu]

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

There is no quick way to do this. Many have tried an failed.

We go back to September 2016 and do all the steps you missed in the last 9 years.
Its the only way to catch all the dependencies.

The other, much faster way, is to reinstall then maintain the install.

You choose.

xorg-server-21.1.10 is from Funtoo. Its gone.
Gentoo gives you 21.1.14 and 21.1.15 today.

[zdavatz]

Also, why does this not compile:

https://dpaste.com/BT47M3LXS

I mean, I can compile the latest Linux Kernel and boot into it no problem, so it should not be a problem to install an update of python exec ;/.

Please execute me for English is not my first language.

Are you trying to understand why the portage emerge fail as in what those error messages is about?
Or
You want to know to make it work? as in how to use emerge to perform portage update or how to bootstrap a working portage?

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

Code: Select all

Another nice one:

./python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found (required by ./python)

Python 3.10 seems to depend on glibc 2.35 or newer.

[Ionen]

Another nice one:

./python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found (required by ./python)

Python 3.10 seems to depend on glibc 2.35 or newer.

It doesn't, this is because that in the 23.0 profiles Gentoo started passing -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs by default as an optimization which itself requires a recent enough glibc.

A normal migration to 23.0 profiles (aka, not willy nilly from a Funtoo system) would've went through the news items which notably instruct to update glibc (or musl) as pre-requirement before using 23.0. Might add that old versions of glibc are also masked by now.

https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-ite ... files.html

Anyhow, I'd really recommend to do a fresh install if you want to use Gentoo, migrating from Funtoo (while not impossible) is going to be a mess and far more time consuming. Also not something we can really help with as most of us aren't familiar with Funtoo.

[NeddySeagoon]

zdavatz,

Timing matters. The ::gentoo repo does not, by design, describe all possible dependencies.
The @system set is is always assumed to be installed. However, the @system set contents can change with profile settings and even the default build option which are only changed with profile. Updates.

You cannot update from 2016 to 2025 in one go.
You cannot do things piecemeal
You cannot change from Funtoo to Gentoo in one go.
You cannot change profiles while you do any of the above.

Some profile changes, such as /17.1/ to /23.0/ require a complete system rebuild once your system in current.
That is, its important to update on /17.1/ then migrate to /23.0/ without doing an

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

It might be fun going back to 2016 and doing the updates you nave missed. I don't believe you are really on a /17.x/ profile as /13.0/ was current at your last successful @world update.
That will/has made a big mess which will take time to unpick.

As Ionen and others have said, its going to be faster to reinstall than to do the key steps you have missed. We don't even know what some of them are at the moment.
Finding the old sources will take time too.
