Re: [gentoo-user] Portage corrupted? Trying to install non-existant packages
I meant a terminal emulator. Just that with 99 packages, I know something won't build right. As a matter of fact, just read my next post!On 4/26/05, Neil Bothwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:16:21 +, Calvin Spealman wrote: A month + with no updates, leaves lots of time at a terminal in my hands.There's nothing to stop you using a windowed environment while packages are compiling in the background.--Neil BothwickThe cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people toeat.
Re: [gentoo-user] Portage corrupted? Trying to install non-existant packages
I did what Edward and Jason suggested, and now portage looks ready to do its job again. Now, I only have to wait for the 99 packages I need updated to download, compile, and install. A month + with no updates, leaves lots of time at a terminal in my hands. Thanks for all the help everybody!On 4/25/05, Edward Catmur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 2005-04-25 at 19:21 +, Calvin Spealman wrote: See, thats part of the problem: there is no package called 'mad'.

I get this occasionally from bugfix ebuilds thataren't updated when Portage-tree ebuilds are. Also clean out your cache:rm -r /usr/portage/metadata /var/cache/edb/depBut I'd bet it's your overlays.--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Portage corrupted? Trying to install non-existant packages
I've been having some trouble with portage for over a month now, but I've also been in the middle of a move across several states. Finally having my box set up again, I'm ready to tackle the strange issues I'm finding. I need some help, I've gotten some of the problems out of the way, but they always just uncover something else that is wrong with it. Portage keeps trying to update packages that don't exist, so when I try to 'emerge -a world', it fails every time because one or more of the packages it wants to upgrade, it can't even find as existing. Calculating world dependencies / emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy =media-sound/mad-0.14.2b-r1. !!! Problem with ebuild app-cdr/k3b-5 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Obviously, neither of these packages actually exist. I tried a portage sync, downloading a tarball of the tree in case the sync was broken too, and even downloading a binary package of portage executables and files, but none of it had any affect on whats going on. This leads me to believe the problem lies somewhere outside of any of the files that would be affected by what I've tried so far, but I don't know what those files would be. Does anyone know where my next clues might lay? I could backup and reinstall, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of this strange behavior.
