[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
