[gentoo-user] portage sync error

[gentoo-user] portage sync error

[Stefán István]

Hello!

We have a pc that hasn't been updated for a long time ago, and now I tried to 
update it's portage with the "emerge --sync" command, but I got the following 
error:
>>> Updating Portage cache:   89%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to 
an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/blas-1.0)

What can I do in this case? Does it really make sense to send a bug report?

Thanks,
István

I can't update portage:

# emerge portage
Calculating dependencies /!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an 
ebuild.

This link also mentions how to update portage manually, have you tried this?

I'm not certain this will help but you may want to check on it.  You may
have another issue that this will not fix though.

Thanks for the tip, the manual update was successful.
Now I have another problem, when I try to update portage with the emerge 
command:

# emerge -pv portage
!!! Problem with sandbox binary. Disabling...

!!! Problem with sandbox binary. Disabling...


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

[blocks B     ] <dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 (is blocking 
app-admin/python-updater-0.2)

<snip>

How can I resolve this blocking?

Thanks,
István

Start by fixing your sandbox.

I started to install sandbox, but it seems to hang at this point:

* Configuring sandbox for ABI=default...
 * econf: updating sandbox-1.2.17/config.guess 
with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess
 * econf: updating sandbox-1.2.17/config.sub 
with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
../sandbox-1.2.17//configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share 
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib 
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

At least according to 'top' a 'sed' commands are running for 21minutes, and I 
can hardly imagine what it is doing for such a long time.

I also tried to upgrade python with the 'emerge --nodeps -1v python' command, 
but it also seems to hang with the sed command.

Any suggestion what should I do?

Thanks,
István

That's an interaction between an old version of bash and the sed
wrapper script located at /usr/lib/portage/bin/sed. You should
remove that wrapper script since it's only needed for FreeBSD users.
 I'll update the docs with a note about that.
