Description Manuel Traut 2005-12-07 13:57:15 UTC
Updating Portage cache: 88%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an
ebuild. !!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/x11-6.8)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. wait :-)

Actual Results:  
Portage is incorrect :-(

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-08 01:16:54 UTC
This is not a bug in x11, this is a bug in whatever ebuild depends on a
versioned virtual.

shrug... there's no such ebuild or eclass in portage that would depend on
virtual/x11-6.8; so either the user has some crap in overlay or the problem is
somewhere else.
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-08 01:51:58 UTC
I'll give it to the portage guys then. Indeed, I checked:

donnie@supernova /usr/local/share/gentoo-x86 $ find ./ -name '*.ebuild' | xargs
-n1000 grep virtual/x11-6
donnie@supernova /usr/local/share/gentoo-x86 $

will have this problem.

Do the following

#emerge --av portage
#emerge --sync

This fixes the issue for me as per Jason Stubbs comment.

'emerge --av portage' is an invalid option on my system.  ??

Try 'emerge -av portage'.


And, yes, upgrading to portage-2.0.51.22-r3 from 2.0.51-r3, then syncing my
portage tree fixed the problem for me. :)

Thanks,
Tom

Re-emerging/updating portage and running emerge --sync did fix the problem for
me on a new 2005.1 install. Not sure if I should paste my long forum post with

Comment 15 Don Bishop 2005-12-12 07:04:54 UTC
I found that the /etc/make.profile link was pointing to the wrong place.  Should
have been (in my case):
/etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1
(was pointing to /2004.3 or something, I forget now...)
This has happened to me before in other system-level upgrades

I just had same problem on a x86 machine I had not updated since quite a long time (~ 6 months ), but with virtual/libstdc++-3.3 . Updating portage (it was 2.0.51.19 I believe) fixed the problem. Is it the same bug or should I file a new one ?

I did emerge sync:

>>> Updating Portage cache:   90%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/libstdc++-3.3)

I was updating a Gentoo (chroot'ed) partition which has not
been used since Feb 28, 2005. The /etc/make.profile link was dangling
after emerge sync.

This one solves after updating portage.
Thank you to developers and users for the dialogue on this bug-report.

emerge -u portage did not work got halfway and stopped, synced again and message saying that:

ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct ?  Is your portage tree complete?

now emerge does not work at all except by reloading the snapshot off the live CD but that sends me round in circles

This bug has been fixed. that means we no longer need any output of if either emerge --info, uname -a, emerge --sync or sysctl -a. It's already done, there's nothing more to do.

Backwards compatability is a wonderful thing, isnt it?

Looking at the level of confusion caused and the ammount of dev time wasted by this one, it would be useful to draw some lessons about the benefits of maintaining compatability.

Sometimes changes really are unavoidable but it this sort of breakage should be kept to the absolute minimum.

Comment 227 Kurt Underhay 2007-09-19 22:35:55 UTC
I succeeded in updating portage with:
emerge -avu1 --nodeps portage

But now whenever I run emerge, I get the following error:
emerge -s portage
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 704
    for cpv in portdb.match(cp))
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any advice? Or should this go to a forum or another bug?

--nodeps is dangerous.  Maybe you need to update python. Follow these instructions and try again without --nodeps:

Comment 229 Kurt Underhay 2007-09-19 23:17:05 UTC
Thanks. The reason I went the nodeps route was because the other suggestions in the comments for updating portage didn't work.

Having followed the instructions on the link provided I still get the same syntax error when running any emerge command:
emerge --help
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 704
    for cpv in portdb.match(cp))
      ^

The portage version that you unpacked is not compatible with your version of python. Try portage-2.1.1.tar.bz2 or even portage-2.0.51.22.tar.bz2 if necessary. If you still can't get it working then you should use an irc client to join #gentoo-portage on irc.freenode.net.

I'm in a big pickle here. I'm getting this error when I try to emerge portage or python. 

 Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/libiconv-0)

I have portage-2.0.51.19 and python-2.3.4-r2 installed now. Should I just go ahead and emerge them both with nodeps?
Comment 232 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-10-05 16:06:01 UTC
Don't use --nodeps. Follow these instructions and pay careful attention the the part about python version compatibility:

I've run into this bug today. For background only I have a 3 PC MythTV system at my parent's house. I built it back in 2005 I think and haven't touched it since. Finally we wanted to do some updates to it and I ran into this same bug.

I agree with a comment earlier in this thread that it would be better if there was *some* level of backward compatibility instead of things just dying. None the less here we are:

Unfortunately the problem on this machine goes further as portage has completely removed every profile that was on the system and replaced them with new profiles. There is no overlap!

I suspect that the correct upgrade path is to do the profile change, update the system step by step and slowly get it fixed. 

I really dislike that portage removes things from my system without warning me. emerge --sync breaks my very old but correctly working system.

Off to profile update land.
