Some thoughts, not really informed, but trying to lure some better |
| 17 |
experts and ideas out: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- Maybe you should run python-updater with several "-v" options? Maybe |
| 20 |
it will become more talkative? (See man page and/or the script itself) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- Maybe the disks or filesystems have some problems or bit-rot after |
| 23 |
having possibly been powered on 24/7 for a long time? Has there been |
| 24 |
power outages? Voluntary fsck time! |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
- Has something happened to your scanelf? emerge -1 pax-utils might |
| 27 |
fix some issues |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
- I'd guess eselect python complaining like above is probably just |
| 30 |
normal, unless you're supposed to have eselect-python package |
| 31 |
installed (many systems probably don't and you say your system is sort |
| 32 |
of minimal anyway?) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
- Does anything unusual appear in /var/log/messages or other logs? |
| 35 |
