Bug 41935 – import error when updating portage

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) 2004-02-17 10:58:35 UTC]

while updating from portage 2.0.49-r21 to 2.0.50-r1:


...
 * Update configs using 'etc-update' please. Maintaining current configs
 * for portage and other system packages is fairly important for the
 * continued health of your system.

Recalculating the counter... Counter updated successfully.
ccache
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in ?
ImportError: No module named portage

>>> sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r1 merged.
...


oddly, the new version is installed successfully.

It's just the message problem?

[Comment 3 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) 2004-02-17 14:19:02 UTC]

looks like it is just the error message. the ebuild continues (removes old version), then portage
is just fine afterwards.

Doesn't seem to be popping up in .50-r9, closing.
Reopen if it is ongoing.
