[gentoo-user] Updated bash crashed complete system

[gentoo-user] Updated bash crashed complete system

[Matthias Fechner]

Hi,

I have here a problem.
I updated the shell bash today and the computer stalled while installing
bash so I was not able to reboot my PC.
I rebooted then from a rescue system and the bash was completely crashed
so I copied the bash from the rescue system.

Now I can boot my system again.

Now I try to reinstall bash again but I get the following error message:

What can I do to reinstall the bash again?

The first thing to try what it says: run Ranlib.
However, it's not clear which library you need to run it on:
my system has no dir  /lib/readline ;
the Readline pkg installs  /usr/lib/libhistory.a , which is present.
So you could try 'ranlib /usr/lib/libhistory.a'
or you could try remerging the Readline pkg, which mb damaged in some way.
I emerged this version of Bash 070728 without any problem.
My Readline version is 5.2_p4 (070701): do you need to upgrade yours ?
Have you looked for similar problems in the Forum ?

I found the directory, it's:
/var/tmp/portage/app-shells/bash-3.2_p17/work/bash-3.2/lib/readline

But that should emerge do for me or not?

> or you could try remerging the Readline pkg, which mb damaged in some way.

that is the first I tried but doesn't changed anything.
I also reinstall all packets which bash needs no success.

I reinstall now bash 3.1_p17 which works fine.
So it should be a bug in the bash-package 3.2_p15-r1?

> My Readline version is 5.2_p4 (070701): do you need to upgrade yours ?

that I have installed too:
     Installed versions:  5.2_p4(22:27:19 09/04/07)


> Have you looked for similar problems in the Forum ?

yes but found nothing helpful.
And google didn't help too.


Best regards,
Matthias

Current stable version of bash is 3.2_p17! Maybe try this one.

3.2_p15-r1 is not in the tree anymore. Maybe you should sync your tree!

In your first message the portage output says version 3.2_p17 now you
write 3.2_p15-r1, which one is bugging you?

the bugging version is 3.2_p17.
I reinstalled now 3.1_p17 which works.
(regarding to eix 3.2_17 and 3.1_p17 are marked green so both version
should be stable or?)

     Available versions:  2.05b-r11 3.0-r12 ~3.0-r13 ~3.0-r14 3.1_p17

     Description:         The standard GNU Bourne again shell
     
     
I tried it now with a freshly updated portage dir, exactly the same
problem. 3.2_p17 fails.

Best regards,
Matthias

Hmm?  You have two bashes installed?

Please show us the output of 'qlop -ul bash' (qlop is from 
portage-utils).  And paste the output of 'emerge --info'.

Please don't snip anything, show the full output.

Do 'cd /var/db/pkg/app-shells; rm -rf bash-3.2_p17'.
This removes the record of the no longer installed bash-3.2.

Then try re-emerging the newer bash with:

  FEATURES="-ccache -distcc" emerge -1 -a =bash-3.2_p17

ok, after updating the portage yesterday emerge want update bash so it's
all back to normal after I reinstalled bash like you described above.

Thx a lot for the help.
