[gentoo-user] Portage Patch failed to apply - System will no longer upgrade
Hi. This issue is really pissing me off, I have ried almost all the fixes, even to the point of booting and copying a Stage3 tarball over the running system and doing a Stage3 Install. No matter what I do, and for almost ALL packages I get .. * Portage patch failed to apply (ltmain.sh version 1.5.24)! * Please bug azarah or vapier to add proper patch. * * ERROR: dev-libs/gmp-4.3.1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_unpack * environment, line 2811: Called elibtoolize * environment, line 1065: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die Portage patch failed to apply!; * The die message: * Portage patch failed to apply! For this package and everything else I wish to apply, this is locking my system in time so I can no longer upgrade any software ;o(

If you manually unpack the distfile and try to patch it, what errors do you get? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

There's also some simple sh-scripts for emulating --keep-going functionality for earlier portage versions. I can't remember any specific names, but I'm sure google should be able to help here. If the problem is specific to this exact version of package (gmp usually builds, but 4.3.1 fails) and the update itself is not critical to you (like when you don't even know what it'll bring) then you can just ignore it altogether - there's a good chance 4.3.2 or 4.4.0 or whatever-next-version-is will compile cleanly. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature
