I am not sure if this is relewant to Schwartz trouble, but I have |
16 |
emerge-trouble aswell. |

1) How does one enable /var/log/emerge.log (there is no such file on my |
19 |
system) |
20 |
2) The problem |

// emerge fails with this error: |

My system is a P4 / 512MB RAM, |
33 |
tried to make a new chroot yesterday with |
34 |
stage3-i686_pentium4-1.4_rc1.tar.bz2 |
35 |
invoked emerge rsync; emerge -u world and went to sleep, |
36 |
when I looked at the screen again now this error were back again. |
37 |
|
38 |
The last thing that were emerge w/o any errormessage was |
39 |
>>> sys-apps/less-378 merged. |
40 |
|
41 |
I see there are a lot of conf-files that awaits update, so I will try and |
42 |
update them and see if the trouble still is there. |
43 |
|
44 |
Some background info aswell |
45 |
I have the same trouble outside the chroot aswell. (Might be a |
46 |
kernel-problem?) What happens is that emerge fails in different stages. |
47 |
Some times it stops at once, other times it waits until somewhere in the |
48 |
merge-process (I have a feeling that somehow emerge manage to register the |
49 |
ebuild as installed, whereas it stops in the process just before copying |
50 |
in the files. Have not looked at the code, and do not know if this even is |
51 |
possible. My asumptation is based only on my observation that an "emerge |
52 |
-u world" could be repeated and fewer and fewer packages to emerge, but |
53 |
trying to use the installed packages, I can't find the binaries (except |
54 |
for in /var/tmp/portage)) |
55 |
|
56 |
And well, there are still about 12GB of space left on my HD to work on ( |
57 |
as for now the chroot is on one partition, with that space left.) |
58 |
|
59 |
I really should open a bug on this, unless it isn't yet. I'll just test |
60 |
out with the config-files to see if an upgrade of them will make my |
61 |
problems go away .. |
