Any attempted use of 'emerge' for synching, searching, updating, etc., the program crashes. emerge goes to the "Performing Global Updates:" and when it gets to /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006 it crashes with an OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy. The full traceback is below. Repeatable: Always I attempted to correct the problem by removinging /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006. emege at least runs after that, but the update in questions comes back after every sync operation and crashes emerge again. The traceback and my emerge --info are below. Please let me know if you need any other info (or if this is a problem with my setup and not a bug). ~JMH pumice usr # emerge --search portage Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006 (Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.) .='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move' s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*' ...... pTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4049, in ? emerge_main() File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3770, in emerge_main portage.global_updates(settings, trees, mtimedb["updates"]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6656, in global_updates myupd) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_update.py", line 198, in update_config_files write_atomic(updating_file, "".join(file_contents[x])) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 728, in write_atomic f.close() File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 696, in close os.rename(self.name, self._real_name) OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy pumice usr # rm /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2006 pumice usr # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 i686)================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Fri, 27 Oct 2006 21:20:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi acpi4linux alsa bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dlloader doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd fam firefox flac fortran gcj gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal input_devices_kbd input_devices_keboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kernel_linux ldap libg++ linguas_en mad mikmod mime mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin objc objc++ ogg opengl pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU video_cards_i810 vorbis vorbis-psy win32codecs xine xml xorg xv xvid yv12 zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS pumice usr #
