 |
|
When I try to to use emerge I get the following
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# emerge
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ?
import portage
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6394, in ?
for y in db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.xmatch("match-all", x):
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4705, in xmatch
myval=match_from_list(mydep,self.cp_list(mykey))
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3539, in match_from_list
raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s) (try adding an '=')" % (mydep)
KeyError: "Specific key requires an operator (x11-base/xfree-4.4.0) (try adding an '=')"
|
I think this started to happen after I emerged sysfsutils.
I tried the patch that is posted on bug #40831 but It did not help. I also tried to chroot in but I get the same error message (that emerge gives!) when I #env-update.
Man I am lost on this one, help please.

i think you have one or serval packages in /var wich are not okay. you could try to run /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py to fix the problem.
is it possible, that you post the output of: | Code: | | find /var/db/pkg/ -type d |
cheers

Thanks, I think I found the problem! I had made a file /etc/portage/package.unmask to unmask a package. Got rid of the file now it works.  |

The problem was that you were probably pinning the unmask to a specific version, like "category/package-0.1". If you want to do that now, you must do this, "=category/package-0.1".
