Broken emerge?

stamasd · May 11, 2015

I've been using Funtoo for a little while now. I have it installed on a small headless box that I use mostly to host Minecraft servers. I'm not doing scheduled updates since the CPU power of this box is so limited, I have to shutdown the Minecraft stuff to do that. So I mostly ssh into it, turn off Minecraft then do emerge --sync && emerge @world. This worked great for a month or so; then a couple of days ago I had a problem with my laptop's wifi connection and got disconnected in the middle of doing a fairly large emerge (117 packages).

When I reconnected and tried to update again it complained of needing to unmask a package (=sys-libs/glibc-2.20). I did that, and the emerge completed apparently succesfully.

The problem is, now every time I try to update, it emerges the same 115 packages over and over again. Each time it seems to complete succesfully, but if I do emerge @world again it re-downloads and re-compiles the same list of 115 packages. It seems broken to me, and am not familiar with funtoo enough to figure out what needs fixing.

this was due to icedtea-bin-7.2.5.5 depends on glibc-2.20 or newer. This is workarounded by masking 7.2.5.5 version.

use screen, tmux, or mosh. this will prevent disconnection mid merge.

post output of emerge -av world it should say rebuilding already installed same version packages, or that its updating to new versions what have you.

Yeah, I should have used screen, I use it for the Minecraft stuff but I was lazy... :(

Here's the output:

sudo emerge -av world

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n

Quitting.

So it looks that all of these 115 packages are still marked for reinstall, even though they have just been reinstalled. Don't know what to do about it.

It also seems that any new package that I emerge independently is automatically set to reinstall. I emerged chrony, and immediately after that it was already set to reinstall:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

I'm confused as to why this happens, and how to fix it. Any help appreciated.

At this point I can't update my system effectively since an emerge world takes about 6 hours for all of these 117 packages on this low-power system.

I really don't have a clue, like most package managers, there is bookkeeping stuff in /var/cache, but the easy way out may be to emerge -1 portage, since it's obviously out of kilter. Worth a shot. Oh and you might try revdep-rebuild, same philosophy.

I have a Dockstar and a Pogoplug, I feel your pain.

if emerge -1 portage doesn't work delete all the ebuilds and resync... what a mess =(
