 |
|
Hello,
I trying to update the OpenSSH server, but I receive many error regarding updating the portage:
With
I receive this :
| Code: | !!! Invalid news item: /usr/portage/metadata/news/2020-02-19-openssh-8_2-service-breakage/2020-02-19-openssh-8_2-service-breakage.en.txt
!!! line 5: News-Item-Format: 2.0

!!! Invalid news item: /usr/portage/metadata/news/2021-10-24-netifrc-dhcp-client/2021-10-24-netifrc-dhcp-client.en.txt |
Also I trying to update portage
| Code: | | emerge --ask --oneshot sys-apps/portage |
Another error
| Code: | These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/portage" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/portage-9999::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7)
- sys-apps/portage-3.0.35::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7)
- sys-apps/portage-3.0.34::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7)
- sys-apps/portage-3.0.30-r5::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7)
- sys-apps/portage-3.0.30-r3::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 7)
The current version of portage supports EAPI '6'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
Anyone can help me please.
Regards, |

Hi
Please try
| Code: |
PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8" USE="-rsync-verify" emerge --ask -v1 sys-apps/portage
|
taken from
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Sam/Portage_help/Upgrading_Portage
Is python:3.8 part of your python targets?If not replace accordingly.
Updating portage should fix your "invalid news" error also.

This shows the install was last updated between 2016 and 2018. This old install may be a challenge to update directly.
There are guides like https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:NeddySeagoon/HOWTO_Update_Old_Gentoo to help update.
Though it might be faster to backup data, wipe and reinstall with a new stage3. |
