Bug 573772 – bootstrap: fails to emerge python 3.5.1 due to timeout

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Jeffrey Ratcliffe 2016-02-03 13:02:21 UTC]

More or less the last step in stage 3 of the bootstrap is emerge -e system.

Here, python 3.5.1 fails to emerge:

>>> Completed installing python-3.5.1-r1 into /scratch/portage/dev-lang/python-3.5.1-r1/image/

ebuild-ipc timed out during read after 15 seconds, retrying...
ebuild-ipc timed out during read after 30 seconds, retrying...
ebuild-ipc timed out during read after 45 seconds, retrying...
ebuild-ipc timed out during read after 60 seconds, retrying...

/scratch is a local disk. I don't understand what is causing the timeout.



Reproducible: Always

I have the same problem with dev-lang/python-3.4.3-r5, but not anything else in system.

[Comment 3 Guilherme Amadio 2016-02-03 13:17:37 UTC]

What OS are you bootstrapping on?

[Comment 4 Jeffrey Ratcliffe 2016-02-03 13:30:07 UTC]

Host OS is x86_64-with-redhat-5.6

[Comment 5 Jeffrey Ratcliffe 2016-02-03 13:31:19 UTC]

And strangely, earlier on in the bootstrap process, both python 3.5.1 and 3.4.3 emerged OK.

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2016-02-03 13:49:59 UTC]

I think you're replacing your python when this happens.  We might have to disable ipc during bootstrap or something.  We disable ipc on anything non-linux, that explains why it doesn't manifest itself there.

[Comment 7 Jeffrey Ratcliffe 2016-02-03 16:16:39 UTC]

If I try and unset the ipc use flag in package.use, it is ignored. Can I do this without hacking the ebuild? If not, why have a flag?

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2016-02-20 16:03:45 UTC]

What do you mean with ignored?  can you add -ipc to USE in the bootstrap script?  Maybe it's use.forced, in which case we'll have to use the force a bit more to make sure it's not enabled during bootstapping.

[Comment 9 Guilherme Amadio 2020-07-28 22:07:07 UTC]

Does this still happen with newer Python? Python 3.5 is no longer in the main tree.

[Comment 10 Jeffrey Ratcliffe 2020-07-29 05:56:09 UTC]

No. This can be closed.
