Bug 30836 – emerge crashes while trying to emerge python-fchksum-1.7.1

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Daniel Milne 2003-10-10 09:11:01 UTC]

Emerge version 2.0.47-r7 fails while attempting to emerge python-fchksum-1.7.1.
python-fchksum is appears to be a dependency for portage, so upgrading portage
is not possible. 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try upgrading portage with "emerge -U portage"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
# emerge -U portage
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 3) dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz to
/var/tmp/portage/python-fchksum-1.7.1/work
>>> Source unpacked.

[Comment 1 Daniel Milne 2003-10-14 06:58:09 UTC]

After forcing a new version of portage to emerge with ebuild, breaking portage,
rescuing portage and updating python/portage and stuff, things seem ok.

Since I can no longer reproduce it, I guess this bug can be closed? Or marked
invalid?

[Comment 2 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) 2003-10-14 07:31:08 UTC]

reopen if you can reproduce it anytime.
