Bug 53745 – there are no ebuilds to satisfy gcc with 2.0.51_preX

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-06-12 14:41:35 UTC]

Portage 2.0.51_pre10 (default-1.0, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5-r9,2.2.5-r2, 2.6.7-rc2)

it works up to
portage 2.0.50-r8
but no change to get this working under
2.0.51_pre7 up to pre10


# emerge -pd gcc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
Parent:    None
Depstring: sys-devel/gcc
Candidates: ['sys-devel/gcc']
ebuild: sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r8
binpkg: None                                                                   \
Parent:    ebuild / sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r8 merge
Depstring: virtual/glibc >=sys-devel/gcc-config-1.2 !build? ( >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r2 nls? ( sys-devel/gettext ) ) !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch ) sys-devel/gcc virtual/glibc >=sys-devel/gcc-config-1.2.3 >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4 >=sys-apps/texinfo-4.2-r4 !build? ( >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r2 )
Candidates: ['>=sys-devel/gcc-4.2-r4']

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-devel/gcc-4.2-r4".

What version of python are you running?

[Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 03:20:07 UTC]

c2200 portage # emerge -p python

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/python-2.3.3-r1

emerge -dp gcc

[Comment 4 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 05:08:46 UTC]

[20:52:21] <sVrmARTY-> c2200 distfiles # python -c 'import portage; print portage.virts["sys-apps/texinfo"]'
[20:52:22] <sVrmARTY-> ['sys-devel/gcc']
[20:54:24] <sVrmARTY->  # more /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo-4.5/PROVIDE
[20:54:27] <sVrmARTY-> empty

I can't see why this is happening. portage.virts is only ever touched in dovartree and is simply virts=mysettings.getvirtuals("/"). getvirtuals only does a map_dictlist_vals which seems clean. only other possibility is pkgsplit which seems clean as well.

Nick? Marius?

[Comment 5 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 09:23:48 UTC]

Checked the virtuals file for corruption ?

[Comment 6 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 14:55:00 UTC]

i get this on base system (with -dev stuff) and a mostly clean chroot

this system had never file system corruption.

[Comment 7 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-06-17 06:42:46 UTC]

any ideas ?

[Comment 8 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) 2004-06-20 06:22:06 UTC]

I can't reproduce it as well.

Can you archive /var/db/pkg,/var/cache/edb and /etc/portage if you have and upload them somewhere?

[Comment 9 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-06-22 06:54:57 UTC]

there was an old version of gcc, which wasn't removed by now.

c2200 gcc # emerge unmerge gcc -p

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 sys-devel/gcc
    selected: 2.95.3-r8 2.95.3-r5
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

c2200 gcc # emerge unmerge =gcc-2.95.3-r5

here's the new result
c2200 portage # emerge info
Portage 2.0.51_pre12 (default-1.0, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5-r9,glibc-2.2.5-r2, 2.6.7)


c2200 portage # emerge -p gcc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r8

c2200 portage # 



thx a lot guys

Created attachment 34685 [details]
tar file of all /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc* (at jstubbs's request)

At jason stubbs's request, attached file is a tar file of
/var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc*

System shows similar failure to the one reported here with portage-2.0.51_pre12

[Comment 11 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2004-07-02 19:21:53 UTC]

And, an 'emerge -C' for gcc-2.5.3-r[5,7] made the symptom go away.  Curious.
