I'm not really sure what's causing this, but every time I do an "emerge --update system" or "emerge --update world" I get the following behavior: security root # emerge --update system Calculating system dependencies ...done! >>> emerge sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.18 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/baselayout-1.7.9-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/gettext-0.11.1 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4 to / >>> emerge dev-python/python-fchksum-1.6.1 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/readline-4.1-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/bash-2.05a-r2 to / >>> emerge dev-lang/tcl-8.3.3-r3 to / >>> emerge x11-base/opengl-update-1.3 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/db-1.85-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/libtool-1.4.1-r8 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/m4-1.4p to / >>> emerge sys-apps/groff-1.17.2-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/db-3.2.3h-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.0-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/autoconf-2.53a to / >>> emerge sys-libs/pwdb-0.61-r3 to / >>> emerge dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/automake-1.6.1-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/miscfiles-1.2-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/pam-0.75-r6 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r4 to / >>> emerge x11-base/xfree-4.2.0-r12 to / >>> emerge dev-lang/tk-8.3.3 to / >>> emerge dev-libs/expat-1.95.2 to / >>> emerge dev-lang/python-2.2.1-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/debianutils-1.16 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/fileutils-4.1.8-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/portage-2.0.5 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r5 to / >>> emerge app-shells/sash-3.4-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/slang-1.4.5-r2 to / >>> emerge app-editors/nano-1.0.8-r1 to / >>> emerge net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r1 to / >>> emerge net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.20_p0-r1 to / >>> emerge net-misc/netkit-telnetd-0.17-r3 to / >>> emerge net-misc/rsync-2.5.5 to / >>> emerge dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6d to / >>> emerge net-misc/wget-1.8.2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/bzip2-1.0.2-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/kbd-1.06-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/cpio-2.4.2-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/texinfo-4.2-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/diffutils-2.7.7 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/e2fsprogs-1.27 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/ed-0.2-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/fbset-2.1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/file-3.37 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/findutils-4.1.7-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/gawk-3.1.0-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/grep-2.5-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/sed-3.02.80-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/grub-0.90-r7 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/gzip-1.3.2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/hdparm-5.2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/iptables-1.2.6a-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/less-371-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/cronbase-0.2.1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/man-1.5i-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/man-pages-1.51 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/modutils-2.4.16-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/netkit-base-0.17-r6 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/procps-2.0.7-r6 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/psmisc-19-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/raidtools-0.90-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/reiserfsprogs-3.1c to / >>> emerge sys-apps/setserial-2.17-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/sh-utils-2.0.11-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/shadow-4.0.2-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/sharutils-4.2.1-r5 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/tar-1.13.25-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/textutils-2.0.19-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/pam-login-3.6-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/util-linux-2.11o-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/which-2.13 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/bc-1.06-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/bin86-0.15.5 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/bison-1.34-r1 to / >>> emerge sys-libs/lib-compat-1.0-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/ld.so-1.9.11-r2 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/make-3.79.1-r3 to / >>> emerge sys-devel/patch-2.5.4-r4 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6-r3 to / >>> emerge net-misc/openssh-3.4_p1 to / >>> emerge sys-apps/devfsd-1.3.25 to / * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 61 info files. When doing the "emerge --update world" it does the same thing, except it lists the "world" packages as opposed to the "system" packages. Any ideas what is causing this?
ive been getting odd emerge behavior w/2.0.7 ... dunno if 2.0.5 was freaking out too i get the same thing you do when doing `emerge portage -uk` when i do `emerge world -up`, it just sits there ... i leave it for like an hour and no change doing `strace -s 4096 -- emerge world -up > &~/log` lets it run for a bit, then gets to stat64("/var/db/pkg/<all the dirs here>", and then stops running well emerge is running, but strace gets no mo output about the only thing i can think of is that i specify every USE option in my USE variable ... every single option i dont want has a - in front of it, and every one i do what is specified ... in other words i have a big USE variable not sure how to describe my bug heh
i guess ill use this bug report to post all my odd emerge errors ;) rux0r root # emerge '*' -udv Calculating dependencies Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1246, in ? mykey=portage.db[portage.root]["porttree"].dep_bestmatch(mypkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2264, in dep_bestmatch mymatch=best(visible(match(mydep,self.dbapi))) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2071, in match mydep=dep_expand(origdep,mydata) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1950, in dep_expand if mydep[-1]=="*": IndexError: string index out of range
well portage 2.0.8 fixed the hanging problem, but not the '*' crash as for the weird output, i *think* its supposed to be like that ... when i issued `emerge portage -u` to bring down 2.0.8 it checked all the dependencies for portage (displaying them 1 line at a time) when it got to a pkg that did not exist, it emerged it you know if there is a page or something that outlines the changes to portage usage/display/etc... when new versions come out ? that way bug reports wouldnt be filed about a 'bug' which is really a 'feature' heh
Portage 2.0.8 seems to have corrected the problem. Keep up the good work! I've just recently converted all my servers from Mandrake to Gentoo.
