Bug 414807 – dev-java/javatoolkit requires python2.6 to build dev-java/glassfish-persistence due to changes in urllib.py

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Cordingley 2012-05-06 00:08:50 UTC]

The ebuild fails part-way in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 dev-java/glassfish-persistence
Actual Results:  
Build fails

Expected Results:  
Package merged.

Looks like the ebuild is _old_.

That shouldn't matter. :)

Works just fine for me. Maybe you need to run python-updater? Also try reinstalling the javatoolkit if the former doesn't help.

[Comment 4 Michael Cordingley 2012-05-06 18:58:27 UTC]

I ran revdep-rebuild and python updater, neither had anything to update.  Remerged javatoolkit.  Still having the same issue.

[Comment 5 Michael Cordingley 2012-05-09 04:51:31 UTC]

Synced and updated my system.  This issue appears to have gone away.  So... closing it.  Thanks!

Thanks for the follow up.

I am having the same problem with this build failing.  I have re-synced and updated my system, run python-updater and re-emerged javatoolkit, with no success.

Here are my build files and emerge --info.

Try using a different mirror for your packages.  That's ultimately what fixed it for me.  I'm using

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/"

for your reference.

[Comment 11 Robert Förster 2012-06-03 19:17:28 UTC]

this is still broken here, tried different mirrors, no dice, happens on a new system as on some other boxes.

[Comment 12 Diane 2012-06-04 16:37:50 UTC]

Using different mirrors doesnt work for me either.

[Comment 13 Robert Förster 2012-06-07 07:01:39 UTC]

whar works is:
1. install python2.6
2. eselect python set --python2 1 (while 1 is 2.6, check that with list before)
3. reemerge java-toolkit
4. emerge glassfish-persistence
5. eselect python set --python2 2 (or whatever was your last active python version)

so likely a py2.7 bug (or javatoolkit not completely compatible with it)

[Comment 14 Florian Philipp 2012-06-09 12:21:10 UTC]

Can someone please reopen this bug? We cannot rely on python-2.6 forever.

It seems to be a bug in javatoolkit. Has someone opened a report for this?

[Comment 15 Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) 2012-06-09 13:56:18 UTC]

python 2.7 has a lovely new feature:

elif file[:2] == './':
    raise ValueError("local file url may start with / or file:. Unknown url of type: %s" % url)

[Comment 16 Ralph Sennhauser (RETIRED) 2012-06-10 08:30:53 UTC]

Can't be fixed in javatoolkit, so fixing the input to not trigger this exception.
