Bug 394471 – net-misc/gsutil - gsutil: CommandException: /usr/lib64/gsutil/VERSION not found. Did you install the complete gsutil software after the gsutil "update" command was implemented?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Janusz 2011-12-12 18:48:22 UTC]

gsutil is unable to create .boto config file. Later it goes fine.

gsutil config
This script will create a boto config file at
/root/.boto
containing your credentials, based on your responses to the following questions.

Please navigate your browser to the following URL:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdevstorage.full_control&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&client_id=idgoeshere.apps.googleusercontent.com
In your browser you should see a page that requests you to authorize gsutil to access
Google Cloud Storage on your behalf. After you approve, an authorization code will be displayed.

Enter the authorization code: here the code goes
CommandException: /usr/lib64/gsutil/VERSION not found. Did you install the
complete gsutil software after the gsutil "update" command was implemented?

To create .boto file go to Google, find gsutil download and unpack. Next, switch to old python (3.1 doesn't work), create .boto file with gsutil config.

Once you're done, you can safely remove manually installed gsutil. Your portage version will work from now on.

Excuse me, the gsutil output is chatty. I should report like this:


gsutil is unable to create .boto config file. Later it goes fine.

Once I run gsutil config I get:

Ther eis workaround this time.

To create .boto file go to Google, find gsutil download and unpack. Next,
switch to old python (3.1 doesn't work), create .boto file with gsutil config.

Once you're done, you can safely remove manually installed gsutil. Your portage
version will work from now on.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
