Can't Update/Install using Spritz [Solved]

[dave_p_b]

Hi

I was just wandering if anyone else was having this problem before I submit a bug report.
I'm using the 0.91.1 version of equo/spritz. Every time I try to Update or Install a package I get a window appear (which usually shows any dependencies needed) and it's just blank. I then click the OK button and go to the part where you "Commit" the changes and that window is blank also.
Spritz throws the following error messages:

gtk.main_iteration()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/entropy/spritz/views.py", line 1076, in on_update_activate
self.on_install_update_activate(widget, "u")

Any one else with the same issues or shall I just submit a bug report.
btw: I'm using the latest version of Sabayon 4.1 kde

Thanks

I am not able to reproduce it, once you fill a bug, suggest a way to reproduce it

[WarraWarra]

You could do a few things that could fix it.

The line numbers if they are the same to other versions or the current version of sprtiz / equo / entropy then there should not be issues.

Likely then something like installing pygtk / python or reinstalling spritz or revdep-rebuild -iv or equo libtest ; equo deptest could possibly fix it.

Also try to check the date since this has happened and what was installed or changed on your system to narrow down to software or events.

Try to downgrade to older version and see if it does the same if not try to upgrade to same or newer version and see if same problem if not then likely a dependency somewhere that was busted.
If the older = good and newer keeps doing the sme problem then newer code needs adjustment.

Hope this helps get the bug.

I was able to reproduce this once, right after syncing repositories
-> click available tab
-> search for eric
-> mark eric python IDE for install

I got this same blank screen and nothing got into package queue
When i tried to reproduce it again, it just worked.

[lxnay]

Nope, not reproduced yet.
Anyway, this this and see if it helps:

Hi

Thanks for all your answers. I've tried them all but no luck. I thought I'd give you a quick update though.
Remember it's only Spritz that doesn't work properly, equo entropy are fine.

I've figured out what it is. because I use Portage occasionally, to obtain newer versions of programs that aren't in equo, I changed the "ignore-spm-downgrades|enable" variable in the /etc/entropy/client.conf file. This seems to mess up Spritz. I change the setting to "disable" and everything is back to normal again.

I'm not sure if you still want me to submit a bug report lxnay ?

Thanks for all your help, hopefully this will be fixed soon

All the best

Dave

Code: Select all

xbox-360 joost # cat /etc/entropy/client.conf | grep ignore-spm-downgrades
ignore-spm-downgrades|disable

My setting

[lxnay]

Sure thing is that there's no relation between that setting and Spritz bailing out that way. Have you tried appling the patch I linked?
