Layman fails to update when dev-python/pyxml isn't installed. It shows an error like that: --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/layman", line 37, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/layman", line 34, in main Actions(Config()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 470, in __init__ Fetch(config).run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 66, in __init__ self.db = RemoteDB(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/db.py", line 234, in __init__ Overlays.__init__(self, paths, ignore, quiet) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/overlay.py", line 76, in __init__ self.read_file(path) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/overlay.py", line 90, in read_file self.read(document) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/overlay.py", line 111, in read + str(error)) Exception: Failed to parse the overlay list!

En la revisión 6277. * * Success: * ------ * * Successfully synchronized overlay "sunrise". --- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uninstall dev-python/pyxml. 2. Try to sync layman (layman -S), it will throw an error and will not update. 3. Install dev-python/pyxml 4. Sync layman again, it will sync correctly now. I tried it in x86_64 and on gentoo32 chroot too.
Created attachment 156047 [details] ebuild with correct dependencies
Can you provide more details on your machine? Which python version are you using? I'm still on 2.4 here and the pyexpat module belongs to the main python installation: dev-lang/python (/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so)

Here is my layman info: eix -I layman [U] app-portage/layman Available versions: 1.0.6 1.0.10 1.1.1 ~1.1.1-r1 ~1.2.0-r1 {git subversion test} Installed versions: 1.0.10(01时06分05秒 2008年08月10日) Homepage: http://layman.sourceforge.net Description: A python script for retrieving gentoo overlays. No git or subversion is installed by dependency. This makes me have to manually install git and subversion to make layman really works.
okay, reopening

You cannot run Portage without Python and - from the dependencies at least - the only way to have a Python installation without expat is to install with "build" use flag, which is entirely unsupported.

I recieved this same issue, recently, after upgrading to Python 2.5.2 and then re-emerging layman. Bug comments suggest that the "pyxml" package is no longer bundled with the 2.5.x branch of Python. As layman depends upon that package, the layman ebuild Diego Agulló has attached (above) properly corrects this issue. Humby yours, B.w.Curry
I am seeing the same problem with layman-1.1.1 and python-2.5.2-r7, pyxml has to be installed manually.
Thanks for the patched ebuild. Fixed for the layman-1.2.1 ebuild which I'll try to stabilize in 30 days.
