[gentoo-user] sudden portage error "list index out of range"

[gentoo-user] sudden portage error "list index out of range"

[Alan]

Wanted to do some installs today and suddenly my portage is puking out
with 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 10, in ?
    import portage
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7187, in ?
    settings=config(config_profile_path=PROFILE_PATH,config_incrementals=portage_const.INCREMENTALS)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 946, in __init__
    mypath = os.path.normpath(mypath+"///"+grabfile(mypath+"/parent")[0])
IndexError: list index out of range

This happens with any emerge command.  I'm going to guess that something
got currupted somewhere along the way, any suggestions on how to unbreak
it (without downloading a binary hopefully :)?

The last things in my emerge.log are installing the man-pages package,
and a couple of these:

1149810120: Started emerge on: Jun 08, 2006 16:42:00
1149810120:  *** emerge --ask --verbose jabberd jabber-base yahoo-transport twisted-words twisted-web twisted
1149810121:  *** terminating.

(nothing actually installed).

Any ideas?

TIA


Thanks.

That's bug 136209.  Here's the fix:

echo '..' > /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/parent

Thanks Zac,
   I had the same problem and this fix worked great. (Thanks to the
AMD64 list for pointing me here.)

   At the same time the previous error started I also got this second
error with layman:

lightning ~ # layman -s pro-audio
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn update /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio"...
/usr/bin/svn: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libaprutil-0.so.0:
undefined symbol: gdbm_errno
* Successfully synchronized overlay "pro-audio".
lightning ~ #

   Any ideas on this one? It was not fixed using the echo command, but
it seems similar to me. I don't know what libaprutil is. I don't see
it using eix.

Cheers,
Mark

Run revdep-rebuild, you have some applications of out sync with
updated versions of shared libraries.

James,
   Sorry. Should have said that I had done that already. Seemed
obvious that some library was missing but revdep-rebuild didn't find
one to install. It says the machine is clean.

   I also did a number of emerge --deep --update --newuse world
operations trying to find things that might be neede dor updatable but
nothing turned up.

Stumped,
Mark

Mark,

unfortunately, you've hit one of the cases that revdep-rebuild can't
detect.  Run 'equery belongs /usr/lib64/libaprutil-0.so.0' and rebuild
the identified package.

Paul

Indeed Paul, that's essentially what I did but since it was
/usr/bin/svn that was complaining I did equery on it:

 lightning ~ # equery belongs /usr/bin/svn
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/svn in *... ]
dev-util/subversion-1.2.3-r2 (/usr/bin/svn)
lightning ~ #

After emerging subversion the problem went away. However your
suggestion might have worked also:

lightning ~ # equery belongs /usr/lib64/libaprutil-0.so
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib64/libaprutil-0.so in *... ]
dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.7 (/usr/lib64/libaprutil-0.so -> libaprutil-0.so.0.9.7)
lightning ~ #

Anyway, it's fixed and I appreciate the ideas.

Thanks,
Mark
