[gentoo-dev] Running 'emerge' from cron

[Wolfram Schlich]

Hi,

Running an 'emerge sync' from cron gives the following:
--8<--
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 279, in ?
    emergelog("Started emerge on: "+time.strftime("%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S", time.localtime()))
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 186, in emergelog
    xtermTitle(mystr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/output.py", line 34, in xtermTitle
    myt=os.environ["TERM"]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/UserDict.py", line 14, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: TERM
Error in sys.exitfunc:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/atexit.py", line 20, in _run_exitfuncs
    apply(func, targs, kargs)
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 201, in emergeexit
    emergelog(" *** terminating.")
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 186, in emergelog
    xtermTitle(mystr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/output.py", line 34, in xtermTitle
    myt=os.environ["TERM"]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/UserDict.py", line 14, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: TERM
--8<--

Looks like a terminal issue. How to solve? Set TERM to something
other than xterm?

Can you redirect this to gentoo-user please?

Sure - sorry, it looked like a portage problem ("bug") at first :-(
What do we learn? Don't write "bugreports" when you're in a hurry ;)
