equo problems [Solved]

[dhris]

Hi,

I just installed Sabayon and aside from a few bumps, I'm liking what I see. Right now, I am trying to update my system via equo, and according to the Entropy wiki, you do equo update, and if that doesn't work equo update --force. Here's my output from equo update:

Code: Select all

>> Repository sabayonlinux.org hasn't been downloaded yet.
>> Repository sabayonlinux.org is not available. Cannot validate
>> !!! Please update your repositories now in order to remove this message!
>>  @@ Repositories synchronization ...
>>      [svn.sabayonlinux.org:1026] Successfully connected to host
>>      [svn.sabayonlinux.org:1026] Successfully disconnected from host

>>   # Database EAPI: 3
>>      Attention: database is already up to date.
>> Repository sabayonlinux.org is not available. Cannot validate


and equo update --force:

Code: Select all

>> Repository sabayonlinux.org hasn't been downloaded yet.
>> Repository sabayonlinux.org is not available. Cannot validate
>> !!! Please update your repositories now in order to remove this message!

so essentially the same error after claiming to be downloading the repository database. Is this just a problem on the repo end, or have I missed some crucial step here?

if you tried :

su
equo update
equo update --force
equo update (once again!)

or

equo world
equo update

ant this not solve,
you may try to reconstruct equo database....
i dont hope if this command is totally secure, therefore first try it with pretend option....


equo --pretend database generate

all good, remove the pretend option...

these commands can be executed as root.

Thanks, I tried your "database generate" suggestion. It didn't break anything, but also didn't fix anything. I get the same message on "equo update".

[joost]

Please do not use generate, because this problem has nothing todo with your local database!

Did you run equo update as root?

Yes, I ran as root.

I think you need to manually edit the repositories.conf file because i think your entropy version is a bit old.

Here is mine:

/etc/entropy/repositories.conf

Hi Joost,

Thanks, replacing that file seems to have done the trick. It's odd too, because according to diff, there aren't any major differences between the two. Anyway, the system now updates, so thanks again!
