I found a solution for this problem. I deleted all portage tree ( /usr/portage ) and did emerge sync.
I'm not sure the issue is with /usr/portage /usr/portage is nfs mounted and shared between several machines. The problem only occurs on one machine, all the others work fine. /usr/portage is up to date.
Hello Paul, Can you try this on the machine? # rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/* # emerge sync (You need to do the first command carefully.)
Thanks Masatomo, That worked. It took about 8 hours though as the machine only has 16M RAM I'm still not sure what the problem was though, the portage cache was straight from my liveCD which is 1.4_rc2 I think. Is it possible that this cache is incompatible with what's in place at the moment?
I've seen this problem 3 times in this bugzilla. I think we need to fix this bug.. If there is a cache problem, portage should remake the cache automatically. I'll check portage code and fix it if I can. carpaski, what do you think?
Just to give you some more info to go on, hope it helps. I haven't got the logs from my efforts, so can't post the exact error messages. The problem started when I tried to emerge distcc. The emerge failed complaining about a dependency clash with Perl-MakeMaker. I thought updating portage and baselayout would fix it, thinking the old versions on the CD might be causing the problems with an up to date portage tree. Once portage was updated I could emerge almost nothing. I did manage to get syslog-ng to emerge I think, possibly vixie-cron also but nothing else.
Same error here. Fix mentioned in comment 4 solved the problem. For me, I hadn't even to started to emerge anything. What I do remember doing is that I was updating portage by: emerge portage and incidentally had a task also running to download the sources for the rest of the packages that needed to be updated: emerge -Uf world Perhaps both of these running at the same time while portage was being updated caused the cache corruption.
Shouldn't be any interference... there are locks in play. This isn't too hard to fix... will be in >=-r3
This has popped up a couple of times... Either way, .50-r9 and .51_pre* have code that handle it better, and it's been fixed for a while.
