Equo broke after a Python update

[jordilin]

Hi all,

After upgrade python to 2.7 version, I ran python-updater -v. Since then, equo/emerge doesn´t work. This is the output I´ve got:

Code: Select all

#emerge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 37, in <module>

Python 2.7 is the only package I can eselect, seems like python-updater deleted all the previous versions.

I have been searching in Google for a solution, but couldn´t find anything related.

Is there a way to solve this issue without reinstalling the system? Thanks in advance.

We have Glibc 2.15 in our repos, did you mix Entropy and Portage?

[jordilin]

Hi lxnai,

Thanks for your reply.

I´ve always used equo to install/upgrade packages, I don´t think.

The problem started because after doing an equo upgrade, guake gave an error in Python.

Searching in Sabayon bugs, I found this thread: http://bugs.sabayon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3599, so I tried to rebuild latest Python version available and run python-updater and revdep-rebuild afterwards.

Since then, I´m unable to upgrade to the latest version of glibc (as equo crashes).

Regards,

[ReemZ]

revdep-rebuild

That's a Portage command, don't use that on an Entropy system.
Only solution I can think of now is to use Portage to reinstall equo, then stick to Entropy.

[wolfden]

python-updater and revdep-rebuild should both be avoided if you are running an entropy system

[albfneto]

thia post have some days,

but the only solution that i see is to try to install equo command with emerge (if necessary, using a boot of Sabayon DVD and chroot)

Code: Select all

# emerge -p equo
# emerge -av equo


then use equo to re-install glibc, python-2.7, portage, entropy, rigo etc...

Do not upgrade Python, mainly using Portage. This converts Python to version 3, and many things are not written in python3, also in gentoo (python 3 is mainly for tests, difficult to use also in gentoo).

also, substitute revdep-rebuild by

Code: Select all

# equo libtest && equo deptest

I have the same Python/Equo/glibc2.15 problem after I installed an additional package.

Why did it go wrong ? Why was there no dependency check for glibc-2.15 ?

I have build python from source and used that to run "equo ugrade glibc", which worked well enough that now I can run /usr/bin/equo again...

[Stupot]

Yeah, looks like equo should be a little more agressive forcing a glib update.

If you had done an equo update && equo upgrade before installing audacity, you would have run into no problems, but you shouldn't need to.
