Description Martin von Gagern 2009-09-22 12:28:14 UTC
portage 2.2 rc41 seems to have trouble resuming for me, as it dies for bad poppler dependencies.

I was updating from rc40 as part of a world update, so portage was the first package to be emerged, and when emerge restarted after that update, it died complaining about lots of stuff involving poppler. Don't have the exact error messages any more.

Then I restarted my world update, got no complaint, until one package failed to emerge. After that, portage restarted because I had used --keep-going, but it again exited complaining about poppler. The error message read thus:

*** Resuming merge...
Calculating dependencies... done!

The executed command was: "emerge -uaND --keep-going --debug @system @world"

debug output

I reproduced the command above adding --debug to the command line, and redirecting stdout and stderr to a log file, which I'm attaching here.
The plain text is 13M in length, so I compressed it using lzma.
Comment 2 Martin von Gagern 2009-12-07 17:07:13 UTC
I recently upgraded from ~x86 to ~amd64 and did a completely fresh emerge of all world packages and deps for this, some 2000 packages or so. I had hoped to kick off emerge one evening and find a mostly running system the next morning, with maybe a few failed builds requiring some tweaking afterwards to make them compile as well. In reality I had to manually mask the offending package and restart emerge after every single failure, due to a variation of this bug here, only with some x driver instead of poppler. As I was more concerned with getting my system back in some usable state, I didn't copy the message, and it seems it wasn't logged either. This was sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc55.
Comment 3 Robert Larkin 2011-03-08 23:44:31 UTC
This is happening to me as well with portage 2.1.  I think it has to do with blockers that are worked around with a fresh emerge, but are not worked around with --resume.  Probably --resume is recalculating the deps but is not doing the 'work arounds' that a fresh emerge does for slotted packages.

This bug is old, has anyone ever looked at it?  It seems that --resume isn't merely resuming but starting over, and not with the same methods that a fresh emerge uses.

When I do an emerge -pv --resume, I get an "invalid resume list":

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Invalid resume list:
 * 
 *   ('ebuild', u'/', u'sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5', 'merge')
 *   ('ebuild', u'/', u'kde-base/libkdegames-4.6.1', 'merge')
 *   ('ebuild', u'/', u'kde-base/kapman-4.6.1', 'merge')

The list doesn't contain any 'uninstalls'. Since I'm updating KDE that means the entire list has a needed uninstall, one per:

[ebuild  NS   ] kde-base/libkdegames-4.6.1 [4.5.4] USE="(-aqua) -debug (-kdeenablefinal) (-kdeprefix)" 0 kB

The way that it works is to take the saved merge list and try to calculate a dependency graph required to complete that list. This puts it in somewhat of a bind since it's not allowed to pull in any packages that aren't in the saved merge list, and the resulting dependency graph is not always valid. However, it could be made more robust if it would prune off unsolvable parts of the graph and just do the solvable parts (as suggested in bug 328343).

It seems that you've omitted the tail of the error message, which would have given more info about your specific case.

The raw resume list shown above isn't supposed to contain uninstalls since those are scheduled as necessary to solve blockers when the dependency graph is calculated. However, in this case creation of the dependency graph failed, so it never reached the point where it would schedule the uninstalls. Again, you seem to have omitted the the tail of the error message which would have given more information about why creation of the dependency graph failed.

emerge --keep-going log for failure due to unsatisfied dependency of installed package


The _resume_depgraph "nomerge" case causes --keep-going to abort here, because it can't drop a "nomerge" task:

> 	# Exclude installed packages that have been removed from the graph due
> 	# to failure to build/install runtime dependencies after the dependent
> 	# package has already been installed.
> 	dropped_tasks.update((pkg, atoms) for pkg, atoms in \
> 		unsatisfied_parents.items() if pkg.operation != "nomerge")

 * One or more packages are either masked or have missing dependencies:
