I managed to repair the dependency cache by deleting the whole dep/ directory and running emerge --regen (which took ages...), as well as the world file (with regenworld). Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way to regenerate the truncated virtuals file. Anything I can do about that? /usr/lib/portage/bin/fixvirtuals would repair your virtual file. I don't have this file. Is it part of any additional package? It's in portage-2.0.49-r21. Ok, thanks. BTW, is there any chance that this issue will be (at least) resolved, or should I set the bug resolution to NEEDINFO? As far as this bug goes... you were using a non-official portage... You could ask genone, as it's his patchset, but I'm not going to attempt anything. Genone's call. Hmm, none of the patches touch the world or virtuals files. Please upgrade to a current portage version as I stopped working on gpp for now. Unless you can figure out what exactly created your problem I can't help you. A portage upgrade with emerge --regen and regenvirtuals fixed the thing. Might have been a file system issue. I'll close the bug. |
