'database disk image is malformed' [Solved]

Hi all.

'equo world' wants to pull in gtkspell ( which is fine ), but it fails with:

Any ideas?

I'm following the how-to on adding portage to 3.5 Pod so I can emerge stuff.

Is it safe to emerge gtkspell instead of using equo? More generally, is it safe to swap between emerge and equo?

[WarraWarra]

Yup there is also a guide as to equo + portage "emerge " and how to do it in the wiki.

POD seem to have a few surprises so I downloaded the 3.5 dvd and much less issues + kernel is there and not in POD so if you equo update then you will get new kernel = aarrgghh

This below could be off help , copy + paste into root / sudo terminal and press enter.
This will find fastest portage mirror to your location , update portage , install new portage , install latest equo , update equo , update equo config , install gtkspell , check and fix busted dependancy's , do a equo world update , fix any new busted dependancy's

Code: Select all

mirrorselect -D ; emerge --sync ; emerge portage ; emerge equo ; equo update ; equo conf-update ; equo gtkspell ; revdep-rebuild -X ; equo world ; revdep-rebuild -X

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Unfortunately I'm getting this error almost everywhere when using equo now. I take it there is a database somewhere that is corrupt? Can I rebuild it? When I run revdep-rebuild, for example, I get:

( Snipped lots of stuff in the 'content' bit ).

So can I rescue this system, or should I re-install? Where is that database it's complaining about?

[dkasak]

OK I've fixed this myself.

Code: Select all

equo database resurrect

This actually failed the 1st time, complaining that the database was corrupt ( ? ) so I removed it completely ( location given in output this time ), and re-ran, and now everything is going fine.
