Bug 140608 – sys-apps/portage bad Manifest

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

[Description Paul Oldham 2006-07-16 02:49:44 UTC]

After doing an 'emerge --sync' I was advised to upgrade portage. I did an 'emerge portage' and it failed thus:

--------------------------------------------------
!!! Files listed in the manifest do not exist!
portage-2.1.1_pre2-r7.ebuild
files/digest-portage-2.1.1_pre2-r7
files/digest-portage-2.1.1_pre2-r6
portage-2.1.1_pre2-r6.ebuild
--------------------------------------------------

Thinking it might be a problem with the mirror I was using I deleted the distfiles and pointed make.conf at a different mirror. Same result. In the end I set FEATURES="-strict" and I could then emerge portage and upgrade from portage-2.0.54-r1 to portage-2.1-r1.

As an experiment I then did another 'emerge portage' and got:

--------------------------------------------------
# emerge portage
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/portage-2.1-r1 to /
Adjusting permissions recursively: '/usr/portage/distfiles/'
>>> checking ebuild checksums
!!! A file listed in the Manifest could not be found: '/usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre2-r7.ebuild'
--------------------------------------------------

No such thing in Manifest here, emerge --sync again.

[Comment 2 Paul Oldham 2006-07-16 05:58:37 UTC]

Yup, I changed my mirror and did another 'emerge --sync' and all was fine. Doesn't give me a lot of faith in my usual mirror mind you ...
