Take a look of my repository. Have you the same?

And try this

Code: Select all: #equo install entropy sulfur equo --nodeps

and try again. :?:

yeah mine looks like:

also tried

Code: Select all: # equo install entropy sulfur equo --nodeps

and had no luck running update afterwards.

also before I forget Im running:

Code: Select all: > sys-apps/entropy-0.99.49.21-r2

Me too, can't remember how to reset the repository and download all again but that would probably fix it. did you get anywhere ?

equo update --force

doesn't get anywhere either!

I can confirm this problem. I haven't received any updates for a month and wondered what was going on, then stumbled upon this thread. I tried killing the auto-updater in the sys tray but still had no luck. Has anyone made any headway? Any devs care to comment?

sys-apps/entropy-0.99.49.21-r2

I would rather see the output of

Code: Select all: equo --version

I would then try

Code: Select all: equo update --force

Code: Select all: equo install equo entropy

Code: Select all: equo upgrade

The problem here as I think I read it, when you log in and try to update ... you are getting the error to try again later.

Later never comes. I think that magneto is running and some how getting hung up, giving you this error.
In the past, I have been able to get around this by using alt ctrl f1 at the login manager ... log in as root at a terminal and run the updates. This would prevent magneto from starting and interfering. This may or may not work.
Plan B, maybe just add nox to kernel boot line in grub, would boot to terminal and do the upgrade.
Whole point is, magneto is a gui app, if you prevent the gui from starting, magneto will not start.
Depending on what equo --version shows, you may just have to install entropy from portage.
Was a version released about a month ago, was only out for a few hours before caught and updated, you may have that version?

You could boot a live disk and chroot into it and install the updates .... takes me about 5 min for chroot and get the updates going. You only need equo update and equo install equo entropy, exit the terminal or chroot ... what ever process you use to keep magneto from starting, then finish the update in your normal manner.

Couple ideas for you to try, but post back the output of equo --version. for more suggestions.

Essentially no change. I guess I'll have to try the chroot route. That could be intimidating for noobs.

*Update*

I booted my system without X, and received exactly the same error when attempting to run 'equo update'. This rules out a misbehaving Magneto or other entropy / equo GUI application.

I was able to use 'emerge' to pull in the latest versions of entropy and equo, even though I typically do not mix emerge and entropy on the same system. As you can see from the output of equo --version, I have upgraded from version 1.0_rc63 to 1.0_rc76.

Code: Select all: cmost@cmost-sabayon64 ~ $ sudo equo --version Password: entropy: 1.0_rc76 equo: 1.0_rc76

Attempted to to update using 'equo update' and 'equo update --force' to no avail. I think this rules out the possibility of a bad equo or entropy version.

Code: Select all: cmost@cmost-sabayon64 ~ $ sudo equo update Password: >> @@ Repositories synchronization ... >> # Sabayon Linux Limbo Repository >> # Repository URL: http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/entropy/standard/sabayon-limbo/database/amd64/5 >> # Repository local path: /var/lib/entropy/client/database/amd64/sabayon-limbo/standard/amd64/5 >> # Repository API: 2 >> Attention: Repository is being updated.

Try again in a few minutes.

Finally, I used the latest available official Sabayon 7 ISO and created a bootable live USB. I then booted from this and chrooted into my installation from the live-cd environment. Tried to use equo to update the system and guess what...EXACTLY THE SAME ERROR!

My system has been installed for nearly two years, rolling right along. Based on a hunch, I copied the /etc/entropy/repositories.conf file from the live CD and overwrote my local one (backed up beforehand, of course.) Now it seems that equo is updating the repositories. Now there are 606 packages needing upgrade/downgrade/changed. I guess this problem is solved for me!
