[gentoo-user] portage broken

[Frank Baumeister]

Hello,

whenever I run emerge it aborts with the following error message:

localhost # emerge --sync

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2006
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
  .='update pass'  *='binary update'  @='/var/db move'
  s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' 
p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
........
pTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4049, in ?
    emerge_main()
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3770, in emerge_main
    portage.global_updates(settings, trees, mtimedb["updates"])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6656, in global_updates
    myupd)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_update.py", line 198, in 
update_config_files
    write_atomic(updating_file, "".join(file_contents[x]))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 728, in 
write_atomic
    f.close()
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 696, in close
    os.rename(self.name, self._real_name)
OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy
localhost #

I have no clue how to solve this problem, so any help would be greatly 
appreciated!

Kind regards
Frank

Try this:

rm /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk
emerge --sync

Unfortunately that didn't fix the problem.

Hi Frank,

Daniel's solution was one suggested in an earlier thread. The other
was to delete your portage tree and reinstall it via web-rsync
followed by a regular sync. The problem has been documented and the
patch is supposed to work it's way into portage soon:
