I am trying to upgrade portage from EAPI 7 to EAPI 8 an I am landing in Python dependency Hell. I did this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo/de and this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fix_my_Gentoo I managed to generate all the necessary binary packages according to above gudis. I rebooted into my system and now I do: emerge --nodeps --oneshot --binpkg-changed-deps=n python-exec This results in: >>> Emerging binary (1 of 1) dev-lang/python-exec-2.4.10::gentoo >>> Jobs: 0 of 1

That's not a bug. You can try #gentoo or forums.gentoo.org.
You're using Funtoo.
nope, this is Gentoo. But it does not work, it is a true pain to upgrade.
nothing that is mentioned in the Docs works the way it is supposed to.
Then where do those ::python-kit and ::core-kit packages you have installed come from? Those are not part of Gentoo or any overlays.
I also tried this, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo/de but it does not work. Portage upgrade almost went through but then failed because you can only upgrade portage with Python 11 that supports "distfiles." I am happy to test more, if you can give me a pointer how to get around the EAPI 7 to EAPI 8 boundaries.
Not only that, but using a 23.0 profile on such an outdated machine sounds odd (the guide is clear you should upgrade first). See also https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage/Fixing_broken_portage. You can also use /usr/lib/python-exec/python3.*/emerge.
Yes, thank you, I tried this one too. Last time it told me there is no "/usr/bin/env". This time it tells me after doing all the 500 mkdir -p /tmp/portage && cd /tmp/portage 501 wget https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/snapshot/portage-3.0.52.tar.gz 502 tar xvf portage-3.0.52.tar.gz -C /tmp/portage --strip-components=1 503 export PYTHONPATH="/tmp/portage/lib${PYTHONPATH:+:}${PYTHONPATH}" 504 export PATH="/tmp/portage/bin:${PATH}" 505 bin/emerge --info steps: zenogentoo /tmp/portage # bin/emerge File "bin/emerge", line 61 sys.stderr.write(f"Permission denied: '{str(e)}'\n") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(In reply to Sam James from comment #7) > also use /usr/lib/python-exec/python3.*/emerge. This one I will bookmark, thank you!
Ok this worked now: emerge --oneshot --nodeps bzip2
but when I do: emerge --update --newuse --deep @world I get: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to non matching USE: =sys-apps/baselayout-2.17 -split-usr NOTE: The --binpkg-respect-use=n option will prevent emerge from ignoring these binary packages if possible. Using --binpkg-respect-use=y will silence this warning. !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-alternatives/bzip2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-alternatives/bzip2-1::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 8) - app-alternatives/bzip2-1 (masked by: EAPI 8) The current version of portage supports EAPI '7'. You must upgrade to a newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed. (dependency required by "@system" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
Where is this coming from: meson-format-array: no python-exec wrapped executable found in /usr/lib/python-exec This dependency is like a big black whole leading nowhere.
Ok, I set my profile to: eselect profile set 45 why is my EAPI Version in cat /etc/portage/make.profile/eapi showing 5 and not 8?
This is still not a bug. You can still try #gentoo or forums.gentoo.org.
Whatever you call it. It just does not work as advertised in the Docs.
(In reply to Zeno Davatz from comment #15) > It just does not work as advertised in the Docs. You're holding them wrong.
If I misinterpret the Docs please le me know what I am doing wrong. Feels like a Bug to me. I also posted here now. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8854180.html#8854180
Just because some people came up with wiki pages as a labor of love, does not mean what you are doing is in any way supported. Even with experience, upgrading from such a sorry state will be a major effort. It requires following a strict sequence of steps, dealing with obstacles and working around those, and understanding the nature of those obstacles and implications of those workarounds. And the fact that your emerge --info says profile 23.0 means you've already failed that strategy.
I agree! Looking forward to test a comment that works.
Please consult support for Funtoo.
(In reply to Zeno Davatz from comment #19) > I agree! Looking forward to test a comment that works. It is up to you to comprehend what is already in front of you, not someone else's job to service you.
I missed it being Funtoo. Thank you. It appears that the last successful @world update was at the end of 2016. We have a Funtoo/Gentoo conversion on our hands and a 9 year old system to update. It's going to be a long bumpy ride but it sounds like fun :) I'm only checking in here because of the bug/forums cross posting. I prefer to work on the forums.
