Bug 53441 – portage: auto-clean errors on m4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joshua Wise 2004-06-09 11:31:47 UTC]

Whenever I attempt to emerge any packages (in this example, I attempted to emerge portage - I've cut right after "caching service dependencies"), Portage always tries to auto-clean m4. It fails with a TypeError, as shown in the attachment. Re-emerging m4 does not help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a 'sudo emerge portage' (or, for that matter, any other package.)
2. Wait for package to complete merging.
3. Failure occurs now.
Actual Results:  
The package emerges successfully, however the autoclean fails. 

Expected Results:  
The autoclean should not error out. 

Traceback attached.

Please apply a debug patch and post the output from another run.

Here's how to get it: (copy and paste will do it)
wget http://gentoo.twobit.net/portage/portage.py-spawn_tb.diff
patch /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py < portage.py-spawn_tb.diff

Not quite the results you were expecting, methinks. Meta-patch?

[Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-06-21 03:34:36 UTC]

This is fixed in cvs.

[Comment 5 Joshua Wise 2004-08-01 20:09:36 UTC]

I just updated to the new 2.0.50-r9, and this problem still exists for me. Was that not my bug?
