When I try to emerge (or update) portage or others packages, the compilation is interrupted with the following message: TypeError: unsupported operand types for +: 'NoneType' and 'str' !!!

distutils can't find your c compiler, try setting the CC environment var and make sure there's nothing wrong with /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile .
Created attachment 23779 [details] example reproduction of error I think the file /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile is either missing or corrupt.
root@aquanta config # echo $CC gcc root@aquanta config # gcc -dumpversion 3.2.3 root@aquanta config # file /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile: empty root@aquanta config # CC variable is well defined, but as it seems the Makefile is empty
which version/revision of python are you using? the Makefile seems to exist on all my python2.2 installations, this is the first time i've heard of it being missing.
I suggest re-emerging python to fix this problem.
I've already tried to re-emerge python, but the problem persists. I've also removed /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile, but after re-emerging python, the Makefile continues to be an empty file.
I'm using Python 2.2.3: root@aquanta config # python -V Python 2.2.3
Grab a tarball of python 2.2.3 from python.org, configure it with ./configure --prefix=/tmp then do the usual "make && make install", then see if you can grab the Makefile from the copy of python installed in /tmp .
i'm talking about the portage revision, are you using 2.2.3-r5 ? do: emerge python 2>&1 | tee /tmp/python.log and then attach that log file here.
solved by copying /tmp/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile to /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile Thank you for all your help.
I'm using python-2.2.3: root@aquanta tmp # emerge -pv python These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r5 +ncurses +gdbm +readline +tcltk +berkdb -build -doc +ssl
i'm not really sure it is fixed or if it is a local problem, without more information, i can't tell at all. but i believe this is a one off thing, i can't reproduce this behaviour on my side.
Created attachment 23840 [details] python emerge log as requested (emerge python 2>&1 | tee /tmp/python.log) As requested, I've created a log for re-emerging portage (emerge python 2>&1 | tee /tmp/python.log). And due to that, the original problem had returned. Probably the Makefile isn't being correctly created.
ok, portage guys, i think i've found a problem with /usr/lib/portage/bin/dosed that's causing this error: notice that in the log : ... /var/tmp/portage/python-2.2.3-r5/image//usr/share/man/man1/python.1 /usr/lib/portage/bin/dosed: line 1: /usr/bin/basename: No such file or directory ... in /usr/lib/portage/dosed it looks for /usr/bin/basename, if that doesn't exist, it'll wipe out the file it is sed'ing, can we have a check there before it does the sed to make sure /usr/bin/basename does exist? as for the bug reporter, there is a problem with your installation, coreutils is missing /usr/bin/basename which seems to be a symlink present on all my gentoo boxes. you need to re-merge coreutils to see what is going on.
You were right, the /usr/bin/basename was missing, but after re-emerging both coreutils and python, the Makefile continues to be created as an empty file.
Created attachment 23849 [details] python emerge log after re-emerging coreutils
My dosed looks for basename in /bin, using portage 2.0.49-r21 and coreutils 5.0-r5. Also note that I nuked basename in /bin and Python failed to compile for me (python_build_dir/Modules/makesetup needs basename to create the Makefile), so I assume there's a basename somewhere on your computer (probably in /bin) just dosed is looking in the wrong place for it for some reason.
Created attachment 23853 [details] Log of removing basename then trying to compile Python
Created attachment 23856 [details, diff] Replaces basename with shell globbing in dosed.
for reference: i'm using portage-2.0.50_pre12 or above, but on another machine, portage-2.0.49-r18 also has /usr/bin/basename in dosed.
Created attachment 23857 [details, diff] Replace basename with shell globbing in dosed. sorry, previous patch was bogus
I lied, my dosed looks for basename in /usr/bin too, just my /usr/bin has a symlink to /bin/basename, like liquidx said.
supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
