 |
|
Today when I did "paludis -pi world" I got this:
| Code: | Building target list...
Building dependency list...paludis@1173268933: [WARNING] Stale cache file at '/usr/portage/metadata/cache/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3'
paludis@1173268933: [WARNING] Stale cache file at '/var/cache/paludis/metadata/gentoo/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3'
paludis@1173268933: [WARNING] No usable cache entry for 'app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3' in 'gentoo'
|
I regenerated the cache with " paludis --regenerate-installed-cache", but the warning message persists.
I coudn't find anything about this, but I may not have looked thoroughly enough. Does anybody have a clue? Thanks.

Hmm. I just did another sync, and the warning went away. I'll refrain from marking this thread "SOLVED" in case somebody wants to enlighten us a bit on what's happening here.
From the screen messages produced by "paludis --sync", I gather that paludis is supposed to clean (whatever that means) or rewrite the cache. Maybe this didn't happen previously for some reason.

I'm not sure why this cache file was also stale, but for this one
| Code: | | paludis@1173268933: [WARNING] Stale cache file at '/var/cache/paludis/metadata/gentoo/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3' |
this is probably because you defined the write_cache key for the gentoo repository (and you shouldn't need to, since this repository already provides its metadata/cache), and the cache file generated when you searched with paludis (--query) was no longer "valid" at the time you ran the command giving this output.
this is what I understand but I can be wrong:)

Running paludis -q gentoolkit would have been enough to rewrite the '/var/cache/paludis/metadata/gentoo/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3' cache file, but for the other one ( '/usr/portage/metadata/cache/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.3' ) the --sync was needed.

Thank you very much, truc. I was hoping somebody could explain what was going on.
