 |
|
I'm installing Gentoo on a new system and I was trying to use "mirrorselect" when I got the error shown below. I booted my system off a USB stick created using "install-amd64-minimal-20211219T170551Z.iso".
| Code: | livecd /mnt/gentoo # mirrorselect
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.9/mirrorselect", line 58, in <module>

import pkg_resources

I was able to proceed by going to the mirrors page on the web-site and copying the address and pasting it into "/etc/portage/make.conf" as the Handbook instructs, but using "mirrorselect" is more convenient and less error-prone.

Hi fishnet37222,
The missing module is being installed by the package setuptools. It would be useful to see the output of | Code: | | equery f dev-python/setuptools |
(in the cd environment)
Also, which minimal cd are you using? Please provide the arch/date and the output of | Code: | | sha512sum install-<arch>-minimal-<date>.iso |

I included the filename of the ISO file in my initial post, but it's "install-amd64-minimal-20211219T170551Z.iso".
I tried running the "equery" command after booting to the ISO, but got an error that the command could not be found.
Here's the output of the "sha512sum" command:

Dependencies on setuptools are becoming more precise allowing to remove it on minimal systems (which I guess the livecd did), but this also reveals that the dependency is missing on some packages, mirrorselect seems to be one of them (Edit: or looking at the error, probably certifi does)
That aside, I tend to feel the default GENTOO_MIRRORS (used if left unset) does a nice job even if it won't always give the fastest for you. | Code: | # Default distfiles mirrors. This rotation has multiple hosts and is reliable.
# Approved by the mirror-admin team.
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" |
Notably nice to avoid a case where a mirror died and requires updating make.conf.
Can worry about that later either way, skipping mirrorselect won't prevent installing gentoo. |

Indeed. I didn't notice it. Sorry.

So, gentoolkit is not included in the minimal cd either... What happens if you just try to install setuptools?

The same hash is indicated in the corresponding DIGESTS file, so, the iso is not corrupted.

I don't know whether you've already fixed your problem, but I was having the same issue and I found a really easy fix. As others have pointed out, the 'setuptools' module appears to not be present on the minimal CD these days, so you can't even run mirrorselect by default. But, if you just run: | Code: | | python -m ensurepip --upgrade |
, that appears to install setuptools automatically. At least, it did for me, and once I had done so, mirrorselect was working just fine  |

| Did you run that in the LiveCD environment or in the chroot? |

I'm doing the same thing in a virtualbox machine now. It works from a LiveCD. It moans about being run as root but it works and you can run mirrorselect.
EDIT: 'python -m ensurepip --upgrade' works, just to be clear. |

This was reported in bug 822777 and is already fixed in tree. It should be fixed in the next round of livecd and such to be generated/built (usually happens weekly, I think the new ones should already be out).
As a workaround: emerge mirrorselect inside the chroot after emerge --syncing. |
