I just emerged the above mentioned portage version, and now I'm seeing some
anomalies. I didn't find any bugzilla references.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? Is this something that was created
by a problem with an earlier portage version?
Portage errors are spooky!
During the cleanup phase after successful emerge media-gfx/gphoto2-2.1.2, I got
the following:
['dev-lang/perl', '5.8.0', 'r10'] ['dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r10',
'dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12']!!! COUNTER file is missing for
dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r10 in /var/db.!!! Please run
/usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.pl or remerge the package.
Note: 5.8.0-R10 is not the current installed version of perl. Trying the
recommended fix produced the following:
richeypc3 root # /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.pl
Grabbing db contents...
Grabbing mtimes...
fix-db: fatal: couldn't open /var/db/pkg/dev-python/PyXML-0.8.1/CONTENTS: No
such file or directory
Note: 0.8.1 is not the current installed version of pyxml (PyXML).
I did
emerge -C dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r10
emerge perl (picked the current version -R12 version)
emerge -C dev-python/pyxml-0.8.1
emerge dev-lang/pyxml (picked the current 0.8.2 version)
Not sure why these weren't properly cleaned before.
Unfortunately, I didn't think to grab a copy of /var/db/pkg before the
correction (isn't hindsight wonderful!) so I can't backtrack this.
