Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It seems that my portage or python installation or the combination |
| 4 |
thereof has become borked. Whenever I run a portage-related program |
| 5 |
(emerge, eclean, portageq, etc) I get segfaults. Due to these being |
| 6 |
scripts, gdb is not of much help... I am able to start python normally |
| 7 |
and get it to add numbers so python is not completely hosed. But I lack |
| 8 |
another python program of substance to test whats wrong. The last thing |
| 9 |
I emerged successfully was iptables and it seems unlikely that they had |
| 10 |
an influence on python/portage. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Thinking again I have rdiff-backup around. Testing that shows a small |
| 15 |
backup to go ok and a largish backup to fail with sigsegv. The box as |
| 16 |
such is busy enough, memorywise, and survives parallel kernel compiles |
| 17 |
and untars fine. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So, I guess I have two questions: One, do anyone have a reasonable |
| 20 |
opinion of what is wrong? Failing that, two: How do I reestablish python |
| 21 |
and/or portage with the least pain? I have both in my PKGDIR, can I |
| 22 |
'just' untar them on top of the existing installation? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Thanks, |
| 25 |
