[SOLVED] python-updater don't work

[E001754]

When trying to upgrade to python 2.7, following the guide, I key the following :
- emerge python:2.7
- eselect python set python2.7
- eselect python list to get sure python2.7 is select (and it is)

when i run python-updater, I get those error messages :

Whatever messages, it still add packages to re-emerge in the list, but it ends-up crashing with the following message when trying to emerge listed packages :

Any idea of what's wrong?

[CrankyPenguin]

Hmm, for whatever reason your system clearly wants pysqlite2 when running python-updater or portage. What version of both are you using? And have you built one or the other with a dependence upon pysqlite2?

I have run python-updater (v. 0.9) without pysqlite2 installed and this error didn't arise which leads me to think that you built some package with a dependence upon it or built an early-edge version that requires it.

Why don't you start by installing pysqlite2 and seeing what happens. From that point on it may function fine or give you some other complaint. Alternately if you have installed a ~ version of python-updater try rolling back to an older package. If the code passes in either case then it is possible that we have an undocumented dependency.

[E001754]

I have python-updater version 0.10 and there is no USE flag for this package as equery said.

[CrankyPenguin]

Yeah that's what I figured. Did you try adding the pysqlite2 package and then re-running the build?

[E001754]

Failed.
I emerged 'pysqlite' with no luck before switching to python2.7
After having switch to 2.7, no program that is python-based works anymore, so I can't emerge anything.

Does anything in http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Portage_SQLite_Cache help?

[CrankyPenguin]

Hmm, ok did you already remove the older 2.6. python? Because you might see if you can scale back to it and use that to rebuild any essential packages.

More pertiently when you say you can't emerge anything does that mean that emerge itself fails? Or do you just get package errors? The reason that I ask is, perhaps you should try emerging (or using ebuild to emerge) python-updater. Perhaps the errors will be fixed with a reemerge for python 2.7.

Does anything in http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Portage_SQLite_Cache help?

yes !
It did !


Thanks for that. I absolutely didn't remember that one day I had activated this sql method for speeding-up emerge.
Did it probably years ago as Gentoo keeps-up-to date for years without doing anything except regular emerge world.

Thanks for that!

Link is broken.
