Cannot attach files. The CGI is broken. I think this should be easy to reproduce.

USE flags I used:

[ebuild     U ~] net-misc/openvswitch-2.7.0::gentoo [2.6.1::gentoo] USE="ssl -debug -modules -monitor" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 python3_5" 0 KiB

I did test this so I'm not sure why this is happening.  Can you provide more info about your environment?

[Comment 3 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 17:07:32 UTC]

Created attachment 466410 [details]
emerge --info

[Comment 4 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 17:08:26 UTC]

Looks like attachments are working today. Uploaded emerge --info.

[Comment 5 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 17:10:10 UTC]

However my environment has changed since the last time I tried upgrading openvswitch. I just upgraded to gcc 5.4.0. That upgrade is still in progress. I will try openvswitch again once my machine is done with its current task. Which means tomorrow most likely.

[Comment 6 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 17:21:07 UTC]

Reproduced on another computer. Adding emerge --info for that machine. This will be a true snapshot of the state of the machine at the time of the failure.

the better emerge --info : ignore the other one

Reproduced the issue on a 2nd computer and immediately got an emerge --info from it.

[Comment 8 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-03-09 17:43:11 UTC]

I wonder if it is gcc that's the cause, I'm on 5.4.0 so if that fixes it that'd be nice, though still odd.

[Comment 9 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 17:54:10 UTC]

Negative. My first attempt was on gcc 4.9. The second one (a half hour ago) was on gcc 5.4.

Do you have the uuid header?

find /usr/include/ | grep uuid.h

ovsdb-idlc.in with the three single-quotes

The error is:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  File "./ovsdb/ovsdb-idlc.in", line 138
    #include "uuid.h"''' % {'prefix': prefix.upper()}

The attached file contains this syntax error. Pulled from /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/openvswitch-2.7.0/work/openvswitch-2.7.0/ovsdb/ovsdb-idlc.in

[Comment 13 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-03-09 19:35:06 UTC]

could you try with 'eselect python set python2.7'  not sure why that'd matter right now, but someone else ran into it as well...

[Comment 14 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 20:12:26 UTC]

Good call. Trying it...

[Comment 15 Carlos Konstanski 2017-03-09 20:16:56 UTC]

That worked! Would be nice if the ebuild could choose python2 on its own...

[Comment 16 Michael Mair-Keimberger (iamnr3) 2017-04-06 18:26:30 UTC]

I can confirm this bug and also the workaround with selecting python2.7 over python3.4

[Comment 17 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-04-07 03:13:38 UTC]

Can you try 2.7.0-r1 with newer python (3.4 or 3.5)?  not sure it'll help, as only twisted got changed out.

[Comment 18 Carlos Konstanski 2017-04-07 03:38:17 UTC]

Sorry, I can't. I cannot upgrade twisted because of tornado (a dependency of salt). Someone else will have to step up.

Unless I'm missing something, this appear to be a duplicate of 596206
