Description Alan Hourihane 2009-10-07 09:44:32 UTC

Seems as though this line has crept into portage usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py....

id(_os.statvfs)          : _os.statvfs,

Yet, later in that file the presence of statvfs is detected with hasattr()....

if size is not None and hasattr(os, "statvfs"):

and so portage blows up with the initial id() line above because it's never checked on hosts that don't have statvfs.

Removing the id() line makes things work here.

@zmedico: how best to solve this?  I started a patch, but it feels like statvfs needs to be in the _os_overrides thing for platforms that do have it.  If I understand the code correctly, the hasattr works on the _unicode_module_wrapper object.

I added a hasattr() call in svn r14553.

Ok, thanks zmedico.  I merged this and released it as portage-2.2.00.14555.
