[gentoo-user] Old machine having troubles syncing

[gentoo-user] Old machine having troubles syncing

[Mark Knecht]

I have a machine that hasn't been updated in quite awhile I turned it
on today with the intention of possibly using it to replace an older
MYthTV server that is going bad. First step would be eix-sync which is
failing with only a message

problems running time emerge --sync

Not much help there.

Then I tried emerge -pvDuN world to see what state I left things after
the last sync and get lots of messages like these:

!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest:
'/usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.8e-r2.ebuild'

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-libs/openssl" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e-r1 (masked by: corruption)
- dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e-r3 (masked by: corruption)

Clearly the machine is unhappy about something.

emerge -pv portage does this:

<SNIP>
 \!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest:
'/usr/portage/app-arch/rpm2targz/rpm2targz-9.0-r4.ebuild'
... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.3.9 [2.1.2.12] USE="-build -doc
-epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 377 kB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 377 kB
Sector9 ~ #

I tried emerge -pv system and get a failure at the end that says:

(dependency required by "dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6" [ebuild])

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-lang/python
!!! Depgraph creation failed.


I'm not at all clear how to proceed as I've never had a Gentoo machine
do anything like this.

Any ideas much appreciated. I've been googling but haven't found a
great answer yet.

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Run emerge --sync directly so you can see the actual error message.

Hi Neil,
   Thanks. It looks like the following. I guess I'll keep trying. What
I'm not understanding is why my other machines don't have a problem
but this one does. Possibly because it has a bigger update to do?

   Maybe I should run my own portage server here for our 6 home machines?

Have you tried a different mirror?  It looks like the mirror you are
using is having a problem based on the rsync errors.

Thanks all. After repeated emerge --sync efforts, probably 6-8 of
them, I finally got the whole database and started an emerge system
this evening.

I appreciate your help.

cheers,
Mark

You could then sync once for the lot of them, rather than for each.
You might find that convenient, and the servers might appreciate it
too.

Actually, I just did it. Took maybe 15 minutes total for me to find
the docs and set the server up on my PC. Other machines seems to see
it. Good stuff.

Thanks,
Mark
