Entropy 1.0_rc79 upgrade fails [Solved]

[lrshmm]

I just today managed to get my first Sabayon to boot, after fighting with an Ubuntu bootloader that did not properly auto-detected Sabayon, but after a day or two of google and testing it is now finally booting. The bootloader (or Sabayon) autodetect choose wrong disc etc. in the grub-menu. Anyhow, Im live, I thought... starting the first time, I had some 460+ updates, with the note on "Application updates" that I have an outdated version of sys/entropy and that I should upgrade to the latest before doing anything. Well and fine, I find "Entropy store" search for "entropy" and finds 1.0_rc79. Click on install and unfortunately it fails.

The error seems to be:
TypeError: doebuild() got an unexpected keyword argument 'myroot' in reloading portage modules.

This is what where the first error occurs in /var/log/entropy/entropy.log

Any help is appreciated.

Try using emerge to update entropy:

1) update portage tree:
(as root)

Code: Select all

emerge --sync


2) install git in order to add sabayon-distro overlay:
(as root)

Code: Select all

emerge -1av git


3) add the sabayon-distro overlay:
(as root)

Code: Select all

layman -a sabayon-distro
layman -S


4) update entropy:
(as root)

Code: Select all

emerge -1av entropy equo sulfur


5) sync entropy with portage and reinstall entropy using equo:
(as root)

Code: Select all

equo rescue spmsync
equo install entropy equo sulfur

Thanks.

The key hint was to use emerge to upgrade portage, which somehow was coupled to entropy, rather than an entropy update.
Once it was done, I ran the (first) great system update. The system now claims it is up to date, and seems to work.

Happy New Year!

Do not use emerge to update portage, that is very dangerous. If you want to use entropy to manage your system, always use entropy to update portage.
Anyway, glad that it worked.

Happy New Year.

I ran into this too when test installing LXDE 7 version.
Looks like this has to do with a newer Portage version that gets installed, but not sure.
