emerge -uk world & system fail with: # emerge -uk system -p These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating system dependencies \Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1315, in ? if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 763, in xcreate if not self.create(myk): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 625, in create mydep["/"]=edepend[0]+" "+edepend[1] UnboundLocalError: local variable 'edepend' referenced before assignment The packages dir is remote nfs mounted (no_root_squash and rw for testing (although I need to set it back to ro when this is done). I works if I give it a specific package: # emerge -uk perl -p These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies ...done! [binary R ] sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r6 to / And one last thing, I assume that when I do emerge -uk foo it has to scan in the package dir for foo and possibly read it (?) for a checksum? I was asking because I am on wireless and just to emerge -uk foo -p then emerge -uk foo makes it send the file over the wire twice (I am just guessing because it is so slow). Looking forward to testing any possible fixes or ways to make Gentoo faster! Jeb
doesnt matter where the pkgdir is mounted, it'll fail if you give emerge the 'world' or 'system' target :/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4508 ***
