[gentoo-portage-dev] Portage upgrade from 2.3.62 to 2.3.65 fails

[Joakim Tjernlund]

Trying to upgrade portage in an older embedded target I get:

When upgrading from old 2.3.62 

    >>> Merging sys-apps/portage-2.3.65 to /

    /usr/bin/python3.4: Error while finding spec for 'portage._compat_upgrade.default_locations' (<class 'ImportError'>: No module named 'portage._compat_upgrade')

     * ERROR: sys-apps/portage-2.3.65::tmv3-target-overlay failed (preinst phase):

     *   (no error message)

     *

     * Call stack:

     *     ebuild.sh, line 133:  Called pkg_preinst

     *   environment, line 3193:  Called die

     * The specific snippet of code:

     *       env -u DISTDIR -u PORTAGE_OVERRIDE_EPREFIX -u PORTAGE_REPOSITORIES -u PORTDIR -u PORTDIR_OVERLAY PYTHONPATH="${D%/}${PYTHON_SITEDIR}${PYTHONPATH:+:${PYTHONPATH}}" "${PYTHON}" -m portage._compat_upgrade.default_locations || die;

     *



Not a python expert but isn't portage trying to use a new function in portage(portage._compat_upgrade.default_locations) before

it is installed?



How should I resolve this?
