[gentoo-user] unmerge boo_boo

[gentoo-user] unmerge boo_boo

[James]

Well,

I've done it now, being in too big of a hurry.

After an emerge --sync, and the blocking packages, I
got in a hurry, did not think and ran:

emerge --unmerge sys-libs/ss sys-libs/com_err 
sys-fs/e2fsprogs sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs


So now I cannot emerge anything to fix this.

Here I tried (re) emerge wget:

Downloading 'ftp://rm.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/gnuftp/gnu/wget/wget-1.11.1.tar.bz2'
wget: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory


Can I just copy some file over from another amd64 machine?

If so, which ones exactly?


If not, any other ideas to fix this?

It's com_err you need to make wget work again.  Using 'emerge -fpv
com_err' should get you a list of URL(s) for the file(s) needed, then
you can use a web browser to download them and put them in your
distfiles/ directory.  (Or if you've got them on the other machine,
just copy them from there.)

After you have com_err installed, use 'emerge -fuDN' to to get
everything you need to upgrade before you unmerge the blockers again.

Hi,

As your error shows, the problem is wget is broken so you cannot
download anything using wget. If you can use another tool to FTP the
wget archive to /usr/portage/distfiles, or copy it from another
machine, then you should be able to rebuild wget and proceed with
emerging everything else. I ran into the same problem on my laptop a
while back.

There were lots of people who got bit by this, if you do some
searching on this list or on the forums, or this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234907

you can get additional info that might help you some more.

Good luck! :)

Well, com_err broken openssl which broke wget with "ssl" USE flag set.
I forgot to mention that part. :)

Disable "ssl" USE flag when you rebuild wget, then you can download
everything else you need to rebuild. When you're done, you can rebuild
wget with SSL and should probably do a revdep-rebuild to see if
anyhing else got missed. If you don't have the current wget sources in
distfiles, see if you have /any/ and try to rebuild the exact version,
that way you don't need to download manually or copy from another PC.

I'm not having any luck with scp, or putting stuff on a usb stick
to copy onto the broken system. Maybe I should try http do download
wget?

In //usr/portage/net-misc/wget  I have:

but no wget*.tar.bz2  in /usr/portage/distfiles/

It's late for me. I'm going to work on this tomorrow....
Ideas?

Hi James!

This is the cause what you should use revdep-rebuild after emerge -avt
--deep --newuse --update world is done.

emerge sys-fs/e2fsprogs

If wget still fails while doing this, download the archive for this package 
manually and put it into your distfiles directory. Afterwards, wget should 
work again.

Hmm, here's a random thought... if you've not already gotten things
working again... Gentoo installs Busybox... try

FETCHCOMMAND="/bin/busybox wget \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}" emerge wget

and see if that overcomes your troubles.

emerge e2fsprogs again after unemerging the older version. If wget doesnt work 
put the .tar.gz of sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.2 on your /usr/portage/distfiles and 
emerge it :)

Many things failed. I could not use scp, or copy form a usbstick
nor a cd. Only downloading via a web browser worked for me.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406&package_id=2374

I had to download both:

e2fsprogs-1.41.2.tar.gz
and e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2.tar.gz


and put them in /usr/portage/distfiles/

All is under way. Also the thread helped:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234907

Thanks to all that helped.
