Emerge don't sync with rsync mirror: the problem is obviously TERRIBLE. :-( I think about an error on "portage update":installed verion "2.0.49-r17". Reading the error report and reading the "emerge code" I found at line 1748 the use of an object that isn't "declared". Please: help ME!!!! ;-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge rsync Actual Results: emerge rsync Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1784, in ? ip=socket.gethostbyname(hostname) NameError: name 'socket' is not defined and same... emerge sync Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1784, in ? ip=socket.gethostbyname(hostname) NameError: name 'socket' is not defined Expected Results: ...rsync! ;-) Portage 2.0.49-r17 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.0-test10-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test10-gentoo-r1 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=32 -fforce-addr -pipe -mmmx -msse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=32 -fforce-addr -pipe -mmmx -msse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://128.213.5.34/gentoo/ http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts avi bonobo cdr crypt cscope cups curl doc dvd encode esd evo fbcon flash foomatic foomaticdb gb gd gdbm gif gnome gpgoto2 gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imlib java jdbc jikes jpeg kde lcms libg++ libgda libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl php plotutils png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline ruby sdl slang slp snmp speel spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb videos wmf wxwindows x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Excuse me. I have founded another youser with the same problem on emerge and the solution only now. Solution: edit /usr/bin/emerge correction: import os,sys --->>> import os,sys,socket As I said, the problem was in the object socket, because... It wasn't imported! Bye
