Bug 891147 – the "eselect repositiry list" command raised an error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jean-Claude Aciman 2023-01-16 17:25:06 UTC]

When launching the command "eselect repository list", I get the following error:


--2023-01-16 18:17:51--  https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/repositories.xml
Résolution de qa-reports.gentoo.org (qa-reports.gentoo.org)… 2a04:4e42::347, 2a04:4e42:200::347, 2a04:4e42:400::347, ...

/usr/share/eselect/modules/repository.eselect : ligne 45 : 241011 Instruction non permise wget -N -P "${REMOTE_LIST_CACHEDIR}" "${REMOTE_LIST_URI}"
!!! Error: unable to fetch repositories.xml

This happens with any command, not just "list".
I can download the file repository.xml without any problem using my browser.

Thank you for your help.

What happens if you tyr "wget https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/repositories.xml" from the same shell you're trying eselect from?

I suspect you compiled net-misc/wget with bad CFLAGS, causing it to execute an illegal instruction. Please try rebuilding wget with a more conservative set of CFLAGS.

If that does not work, please provide emerge --info and change the bug status back to UNCONFIRMED.

Thank you for your help. 

I did remerge wget with only the following USE flags:
[ebuild   R   ] net-misc/wget-1.21.3-r1  USE="nls (ssl) uuid zlib -cookie-check -debug -gnutls -idn -ipv6 -metalink -ntlm -pcre -static -test -verify-sig" and 
it works fine!
