[gentoo-user] portage failed to upgrade

[gentoo-user] portage failed to upgrade

[Space Cake]

Hi,

For a few days my routine upgrades failing at portage with the following
message. Do you have any idea what does it means?

File
"/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.1.10.11/image/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/tests/runTests",
line 21, in <module>
    os.environ["PORTAGE_GRPNAME"] = grp.getgrgid(os.getgid()).gr_name
KeyError: 'getgrgid(): gid not found: 0'

I've tried to google this, but nothing has found

Thank you
Laszlo

A new portage went stable a few days ago. You might try explicitly
upgrading portage, and then continuing.

Yes, this is what I've tried, but it is failed with the message above

By the error, it looks like the code expected to be run as gid 0, but wasn't.

I assume you ran etc-update?

What about a downgrade? Could you downgrade portage to the last stable
version (not sure what that is), and then upgrade it again? (I'd wait
for someone else to chime in before you do this. It may be a riskier
move than is obvious. I'm not sure.)

Yes, etc-update is also routine for me and I'm on stable

gid 0 should be the 'root' gid. Try 'grep -E "root|wheel" /etc/groups'
and see if there is/are groups called 'root' or 'wheel' with gid==0

Also a question: Are you using sudo?

Rgds,

Seems my gid is not 0 either for root or wheel... I don't know why, I
don't remember if I changed it :)

So, I've changed the gid and also the group for the files assigned to
the grp 1033, so hopefully portage can upgrade this way :)

Thanks for the help
