Maybe this should go in the portato thread?

[albfneto]

in one of my installations.
i fact, i have sabayon in 4 comps.
in two, i use only only entropy, in the other two the two installers are mixed.
in these i use Portato.
this is the last version of portato, taken from Portage 2.2-25.
in one of the comps,portato works, in other not.
all are fully updated.
also,i have another installation of gentoo. in this, portato works

Just running etc-update is not enough, if you update it the wrong way - you are missing the DATABASE section

it should look like the following:

Code: Select all

#
# Section for the internal database
#
[DATABASE]

; the type of the database to use - string value
; allowed values:
;            - sql      : SQLite Database
;            - dict   : Hashmap in Memory
type = sql

If this is not in your /etc/portato/portato.cfg, you've done something wrong

[albfneto]

Solved.
Copying the antique portato.cfg (making backup) and copying the lines in it, solved.
Thanks

Another mean to solve the defective installation...

update Portage:

Code: Select all

# emerge --sync
# emerge portage


Remove Portato:

Code: Select all

# emerge -C portato


Remove the dir with the portato config file:

Code: Select all

# rm -rf /etc/portato


Reinstall Portato:

Code: Select all

# emerge -av portato
