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: i think you know...
This is not a bug in x11, this is a bug in whatever ebuild depends on a versioned virtual.
(In reply to comment #1) > 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.
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 $

Portage versions prior to 2.0.51.20 (which was released almost 8 months ago) will have this problem.

(In reply to comment #9) > > In reply to comment #6 > > '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

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

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. ;)

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?
(In reply to comment #227) > I succeeded in updating portage with: > emerge -avu1 --nodeps portage --nodeps is dangerous. Maybe you need to update python. Follow these instructions and try again without --nodeps: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml
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)) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(In reply to comment #229) > File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 704 > for cpv in portdb.match(cp)) > ^ > SyntaxError: invalid syntax 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 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?
Don't use --nodeps. Follow these instructions and pay careful attention the the part about python version compatibility: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml

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: deleting app-accessibility/brltty/brltty-3.6.1.ebuild deleting app-accessibility/brltty/brltty-3.5.ebuild deleting app-accessibility/at-poke/files/digest-at-poke-0.2.2 deleting app-accessibility/SphinxTrain/files/digest-SphinxTrain-0.9.1-r1 Number of files: 124331 Number of files transferred: 95646 Total file size: 155953991 bytes Total transferred file size: 146299148 bytes Literal data: 146299148 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 3029296 Total bytes written: 1913101 Total bytes read: 153638454 wrote 1913101 bytes read 153638454 bytes 237302.14 bytes/sec total size is 155953991 speedup is 1.00 >>> Updating Portage cache: 90%!!!
