Bug 747742 – sys-apps/debianutils ebuild points to debianutils_4.11.1.tar.xz, version doesn't exist in mirrors

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Camden Lindsay 2020-10-10 22:47:22 UTC]

while trying to emerge debianutils, the ebuild fails after trying many mirrors with 

>>> Downloading 'http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/debianutils_4.11.1.tar.xz'
--2020-10-10 15:35:09--  http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/debianutils_4.11.1.tar.xz

Looking at one of these ftp directories, you can see that version 4.11.1 doesn't exist in them, but v 4.11.2 does. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to emerge debianutils
2. Sit back and wait for the not founds to roll in
3.
Actual Results:  
Build fails, download file not found

So what do you want us to do here?

Closing as INVALID: File is mirrored on Gentoo mirrors. That's why we have our mirror system. It doesn't matter if a mirrored file was removed upstream in this case.

[Comment 3 Mike Gilbert 2020-10-11 12:57:31 UTC]

I suspect the reporter has a bad value configured in GENTOO_MIRRORS, intentionally or not.

Thank you for responding-
I didn't think i have incorrect GENTOO_MIRRORS set, but its been a long time since i did anything with them... (frankly don't even remember ever setting them)

dylan@BigBox ~ $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals 
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org"
dylan@BigBox ~ $ 


dylan@BigBox / $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /etc/portage/make.conf 
#GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/"
dylan@BigBox / $ 



I found the GENTOO_MIRRORS wiki page and 'fixed' my mirrors..

dylan@BigBox / $ grep GENTOO_MIRRORS /etc/portage/make.conf 
#GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.fslutd.org/linux/distributions/gentoo/"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="https://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ https://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ rsync://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/"
dylan@BigBox / $ 

Now working without a problem.  Thank you, Mike Gilbert, for the pointer to GENTOO_MIRRORS

[Comment 5 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2020-10-11 18:00:19 UTC]

I recommend to use `portageq envvar GENTOO_MIRRORS` next time. Grep results can be misleading when there is just one file killing the assignment.

Glad you sorted the problem!
