Attempting to unmerge gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 causes emerge to die with a Python IOError. Things on my system are prelinked, although it's been a while since I've run the command to make sure everything is prelinked properly/up-to-date. (I just did an 'emerge -u' today, but it's been well over a month since my last prelinking.) Here's the output from my "emerge info": Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/export/tmp/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 -3dfx 3dnow aalib -acl acpi -afs alsa -apache2 -apm arts -atlas avi berkdb -bonobo -canna -cdr -cjk crypt cups dga directfb -doc -dvb dvd encode -esd -ethereal -evo -ev6 -fbcon -flash -freewnn -gb gd gdbm -ggi gif -gnome -gphoto2 -gpm -gps gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile -icc -icc-pgo imap -imlib -innodb -ipv6 java jikes jpeg -junit kde -kerberos lcms ldap leim libg++ -libgda libwww -matrox maildir -mbox -mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg -mule -mysql -nas ncurses -nls -nocardbus -oav -oci8 odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcmcia pda pdflib perl pic -plotutils png pnp postgres python qt quicktime readline -ruby samba -sasl -scanner sdl slang -slp snmp -socks5 spell -sse ssl svga -tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype -trusted usb -voodoo3 -wavelan wmf X xface xml xml2 xmms xv -zeo zlib" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -march=athlon -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops -falign-functions=4" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -march=athlon -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops -falign-functions=4" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j3" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox distcc ccache" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-sources 2. emerge unmerge gentoo-sources Actual Results: Here's the Python backtrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1699, in ? if 1==unmerge(myaction, myfiles): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1374, in unmerge retval=portage.unmerge(mysplit[0],mysplit[1],portage.root) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1605, in unmerge mylink.unmerge() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3687, in unmerge mymd5=perform_md5(obj, calc_prelink=1) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1593, in perform_md5 return perform_checksum(x, calc_prelink)[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 98, in perform_checksum retval = fchksum.fmd5t(prelink_tmpfile) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/portage-prelink.tmp' Expected Results: Unmerged gentoo-sources properly... To work around this, I deleted /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r3, and unmerged gentoo-sources. It couldn't find any of the files to delete (obviously), but it did unmerge successfully.
I am not able to duplicate this. It looks to be the result of a failed copy, but I can't verify this.
still a problem ?
AFAIK, no. I didn't even know this bug was still open...it was from a long time ago. Resolving as WORKSFORME, because, well, it does. ;)
