[gentoo-user] My emerge @preserved-rebuild is wedged. Help, please!

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hello, Gentoo.

I'm trying to do

    # emerge -a @preserved-rebuild

..  For this purpose, I created a temporary repository, filling it with
ancient ebuilds recovered from /var/db/pkg.

It shows me 5 packages to be merged, among them being

    [ebuild   R    ] dev-lang/spidermonkey-78.15.0 [78.15.0]

..  When I answer the "are you sure?" prompt with Yes, spidermonkey fails
to build with this error message:

>>> Emerging (1 of 5) dev-lang/spidermonkey-78.15.0::localrepo
!!! Fetched file: firefox-78.15.0esr.source.tar.xz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Insufficient data for checksum verification
!!! Got:
!!! Expected: BLAKE2B BLAKE2S MD5 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 SHA3_256 SHA3_512

 * Fetch failed for 'dev-lang/spidermonkey-78.15.0', Log file:
 *  '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/spidermonkey-78.15.0/temp/build.log'

It would appear that the sources are no longer available at Firefox, and
I no longer have a copy in /usr/portage/distfiles.

Why is portage trying to build this obsolete version?  I surely will just
unmerge it as soon as my system is back in order.

Most importantly, how can I free up my system so that I can proceed with
the pending profile update?  I appear to be stuck.  I hope I won't have
to reinstall gentoo.

For old distfiles, NeddySeagoon hosts them publicly accessible.

This is the closest I found to your version:

Hello, Stefan.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply.  Just after I first posted, I
updated my system, with which libssl-1.1.1w got unmerged.  So my qmail
stopped working.  I've now reinstalled and configured it.

Thanks!  In the end I didn't need to download any files.

If you are just going to unmerge it anyway, why not do so before 
emerging @preserved-rebuild?

Possibly because it didn't occur to me that --unmerge would work on a
package that wasn't properly installed.

However, after unmerging it (and two ancient versions of php),
@preserved-rebuild worked.  :-).  So I'm back in action.

Thanks very much!

I may be missing something, but why are you doing this?

Why don't you run @world update first, which will bring your system to a 
stable state, before you proceed with anything else, e.g. migrating to profile 
23.0?

My @preserved-rebuild had been broken for months.  It needed sorting out
before migrating to the new profile.

@world updates didn't resolve the problem with @p-r.  But Jack's
suggestion has worked for me.

Because it currently is installed and depends on a preserved lib.

You can just go ahead with it.  Odds are Spidermonkey will be updated,
or at least rebuilt, when you do that.

I was confused about that.  It didn't appear to be present and
functional.

I've got rid of it with energe --unmerge.  My @preserved-rebuild now
works again.

So it's time to go for the 23.0 profile.

Thanks!
