Description Seemant Kulleen 2002-02-23 06:08:53 UTC
Hello to all my Gentoo friends,

I get this error when trying to zap Hermes.  I am trying to update the ebuild
for Hermes, to use 1.3.2 instead of the old CVS version that is currently in
portage.

The following packages are going to be unmerged :

    app-games/hermes-1.3.010512

 * IMPORTANT: 1 non slot packages; use --verbose to view details.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 966, in ?
    secs=string.atoi(portage.settings["UNMERGE_DELAY"])
  File "/usr/lib/spython2.0/string.py", line 215, in atoi
    return _int(s, base)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 



So, with a --verbose, I get:


The following packages are going to be unmerged :

    app-games/hermes-1.3.010512

 * IMPORTANT: 1 non slot packages
 * These packages have been merged with an old version of portage that didn't
 * support binary compatibility slots. This means that each package with a
 * different version number will be considered different and only older versions
 * of different releases will be unmerged automatically.
 * To get rid of all non slot packages, you can rebuild your system with
 * emerge --noslot rebuild.

    app-games/hermes-1.3.010512
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _int(s, base)

Any ideas how to get hermes off my system?

Thanks,

Seemant

OK, using the low-level ebuild hermes unmerge commandset worked.  Perhaps this
is an error in the `emerge` script?  Or is it pebcak on my part?

looks like you have UNMERGE_DELAY unset or set to a non-integer value.  I'll
keep the bug but adding Bevin to the cc.

This is of an old portage version, fixed since a while.
