Bug 18620 – portage tree falling apart? (syntax errors in ebuilds)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18761
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sam Cole 2003-04-01 20:42:58 UTC]

emerge -up world                                  8:39PM

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r6 ebuild.
               Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
                                                                               |
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-apps/texinfo-4.5 ebuild.
               Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
                                                                              
...done!

can you attach the "faulty" ebuilds please?  seems to me more like a mirror corruption issue.

try this

emerge sync
rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/*
repoman regen

[Comment 6 Sam Cole 2003-04-02 18:43:30 UTC]

For one thing I think you meant "emerge regen" instead of "repoman regen", also this doesn't work. Same error.

[Comment 7 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-04-03 16:10:04 UTC]

please paste
#emerge info

delete the ebuilds and try again

[Comment 10 Sam Cole 2003-04-03 17:28:38 UTC]

Removing the ebuilds fixes the problem, but an emerge rsync brings the problems back.

[Comment 11 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-04-05 07:06:43 UTC]

are your running this as root or user ?

Hey! You're right:
#emerge -up world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r6 ebuild.
               Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
                                                                               \
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-apps/texinfo-4.5 ebuild.
               Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)

#sudo emerge -up world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
