Hello,
Since a few days, emerge gives me a weird error when doing an emerge -pu
world. First, it calculates the dependencies, and spits out the packages
it is going to update, just like normally. Then, it comes up with this
cryptic error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2133, in ?
mydepgraph.display(mydepgraph.altlist())
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1103, in display
elif (not "--emptytree" in myopts) and
portage.db[x[1]]["vartree"].exists_specific_cat(x[2]):
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3469, in
exists_specific_cat
self.invalidentry(self.root+"var/db/pkg/"+a[0]+"/"+x)
AttributeError: vartree instance has no attribute 'invalidentry'
Very informative.
When updating some packages, it complains about
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd
So I suspect something is wrong with that entry. I re-emerged devfsd
already, but that didn't help. Also, an emerge sync didn't make the
problem go away.
What is wrong here, and where should I look to fix it?
Regards,
Michel.
