[gentoo-user] Problem with python-updater ?

[Jacques Montier]

Hi all,

I upgraded python2.6 to python2.7,
then i run eselect python set python2.7,
then python-updater.

Here is the python-updater output :

* Starting Python Updater...
 * Main active version of Python:  2.7
 * Active version of Python 2:     2.7
 * Active version of Python 3:     3.1
 *   Adding to list: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs:0
 *   Adding to list: app-emulation/virtualbox-bin:0
 *   Adding to list: app-office/libreoffice-bin:0
 *   Adding to list: dev-libs/boost:1.42
 *     check: manual [Added to list manually, see CHECKS in manpage for
more information.]
 *   Adding to list: sys-libs/tdb:0
 *   Adding to list: x11-libs/vte:0
 *     check: manual [Added to list manually, see CHECKS in manpage for
more information.]
 * emerge -Dv1 --keep-going app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs:0
app-emulation/virtualbox-bin:0 app-office/libreoffice-bin:0
dev-libs/boost:1.42 sys-libs/tdb:0 x11-libs/vte:0
...............................
Ok, everything emerge fine.

If i run python-updater again, then i get exactly the same output as
before (emerging emul-linux-x86-baselibs:0, BOOST:1.42, etc...)

What's wrong ??

Thanks

That seems a bit odd but it depends on what you have installed.  I have 
KDE on mine and it is in the process of rebuilding a little over 50 
packages.  Most of them are small except for OOo.  Natuarally when 
anything gets updated that monster has to be recompiled.  lol  If you 
have KDE, I would think it would rebuild more than that.  Also, it seems 
most of mine is @system packages.  I would not reboot or logout yet just 
to be safe.

Anyone notice it wants to rebuild a binary on the OPs system?  Hmmm.

I would look at python 3 - I couldn't emerge until only 2.6 was active. I
don't know how but on the new machine I set up, python3 was selected as
active, I set it back to 2.6 and everything was fine.  From the output I can
see there is a version of python 3 active. Maybe a red herring, if so, I
apologies :)

When I had the problem I went on irc and it was suggested that I do a
revdep-rebuild which I did also.

According to the list of checks python-updater performs it's indeed
weird that it's happening. But maybe python-updater has some
undocumented, hidden intelligence.:) If you run emerge or something
written in python, do you see (in the process
listing) /usr/bin/python2.7 being the interpreter in action? If so, try
moving away /usr/lib/python2.6 and /usr/bin/python2.6 (just moving
away, not deleting). Does still everything run? Then I believe you can
safely get rid of python 2.6 and python-updater will probably stop
trying to re-emerge everything.

Do what it says. The man page explains manual checks and how to skip
them, that's why the output tells you to read it.

Hi everybody,

Ok Neil, i read the python-updater manpage...
So to skip compilation, and compilation... and so on, i had to run :
#python-updater -dmanual -dpylibdir -dPYTHON_ABIS -dshared_linking
-dstatic_linking
* Starting Python Updater...
 * Main active version of Python:  2.7
 * Active version of Python 2:     2.7
 * Active version of Python 3:     3.1
 * No packages need to be reinstalled.

Sounds like it could be the same problem I was having. Boost seems broken 
for me on two different systems since 1.42.0-r1, at least according to 
python-updater. I tried 1.42.0 and 1.45.0 as well but still had the same 
problem, so finally just got rid of boost. Afterward python updated to 2.7 in 
an orderly fashion, and once I switched from xmms2 to mpd no longer
needed boost.
