equo upgrade showing error

[lxnay]

Update the Source Package Manager, which is Portage

[lemon09]

@ lxnay
And how to do that??? I mean any command for that???

[wolfden]

equo install portage

Hi,
I've had the same problem as lemon09, installed portage, and I think it will end up successful...
I followed the instructions in http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title%20...%20using_Equo too.

The command in this documentation

Code: Select all

# equo install entropy rigo equo  --relaxed

should be changed to

Code: Select all

# equo install entropy portage  --relaxed

because as I understood in http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=En:Entropy#About_Entropy entropy is the name of the package(ing system) containing the programs/tools equo and rigo (and the old sulfur)
and because without upgrading portage at first the great upgrade process can obviously fail. Is that right?
(I'm not Linux beginner but a bloody beginner with the Sabayon/Gentoo distributions and especially their packagers.)
Shall/can I change it?

I also have this question:
I didn't find the options --relaxed and --ask when typing

Code: Select all

equo --help

and it's not clear to me what's the exact effekt of --relaxed. Is it documented somewhere else? (Without --relaxed the packages entropy+rigo have about 270 dependencies that have to be updated,too, and with it only eleven. Why?)

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: Upgrade (699 packs) ended and was successful now! Thanks!

Yes it is. Have a look here.
Also there a manpages for equo's subcommand. Try: man equo-install. (Not using a Sabayon box at the moment).

@wintux
yes.That's it. I updated the portage package manager it worked well.
the --relasked option as far as I can make out from the man pages is that it does not consider the dependencies.
The --ask option asks for the user intervention whenever there is any need for changes to be made in the system.
You see I am still e newbie in this distro like you. So if I am wrong then somebody please correct me.

Uhm, seems that the regarding Wiki article is outdated :-/
batvink, in case you read this post, may you update the article?
I'm too busy to do so at the moment :-/
