Emerge --info

Trying to emerge any package will end in a crash.

Emerge suceeds in fetching the files.

This magically started happening when I first tried upgrading PulseAudio which has now pulseaudio-daemon as dependency, it failed to compile with clang so I switched the compiler used by pulseaudio-daemon to gcc instead of clang (just like pulseaudio, both don't compile with clang). Pulseaudio seems not responding and dead on my system now though.

I thought there might be an issue with my installation of portage, as trying to emerge --oneshot portage produces the same output as seen below I git cloned portage and tried using it from inside the repository. The same problem persists, all it did was reset/update my news ("71 new News items").

Portage cannot emerge any package, but the following works wit no error, --sync, --metadata and adding the --fetch-only flag does not produce the same output (obvioulsy no packages gets installed but just proves emerge fails after the fetching phase).

I have multiple Gentoo systems but it seems only this one has this bug reproductible.

Issue persists through reboots and removing metadata cache.

Installing binaries works though.

1. I can't rebuild it because emerge crashes, do you suggest getting it from precompiled binaries ?

emerge --info libffi

=================================================================

=================================================================

dev-libs/libffi-3.4.2-r1::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="-debug (-exec-static-trampoline) (-experimental-loong) -pax-kernel -static-libs -test" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"

2. I tried setting USE flags to just -ibm but doesn't change anything


But while investigating libffi, I have discovered the following:

Trying to `emerge --depclean` produces a different output:



 * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
 * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
 * be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
 * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in
 * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
 * depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
 *
 * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
 * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved.  As a
 * consequence of this, it often becomes necessary to run
 * `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:

 *
 * Have you forgotten to do a complete update prior to depclean? The
 * most comprehensive command for this purpose is as follows:
 *
 *   emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world
 *
 * Note that the --with-bdeps=y option is not required in many
 * situations. Refer to the emerge manual page (run `man emerge`)
 * for more information about --with-bdeps.
 *
 * Also, note that it may be necessary to manually uninstall
 * packages that no longer exist in the repository, since it may not
 * be possible to satisfy their dependencies.
Comment 5 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-06-29 13:11:42 UTC
The depclean thing is "fine" because you can't yet do a world upgrade / finish one.

I would try grabbing a libffi from a stage3.

Okay that fixed it, looks likes a previous failed world update broke libffi but  it works.

But

What I did was copy libffi from a stage3 which has let me emerge packages normally

After doing so portage complained with the following:

!!! existing preserved libs:

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries


And so, after testing for a bit I did `emerge @preserved-rebuild`

And everything went back to before, same emerge error, can't emerge anything.
