 Portage: CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting... Hi, I've been trying to install ripperx as cdparanoia frontend with CDDB support, but when portage wants to install id3lib as a necessity the shit hits the fan. All goes wel during compiling, but when it should start installing the files from /var/tmp/portage into their real location portage spits out this error: !!! CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting... A quick look on the forums learnt me that the category is one of the subdirs of /usr/portage, like media-apps or dev-per, so after adding the category to emerge command as suggested this still does not work. Normally portage only asks for this when an ambiguity is possible, but this was not the case, so it's maybe something with one of the ebuilds? Is there a quick fix for this, or do I just have to wait untill the maintainers solve this, since other packages can be installed without problems. Wimmy      |

| Re: [solved] Hmms, this was a bit weird... I cleared out /usr/portage/packages since it was getting a bit too full and suddenly I noticed that instead of the All directory where all binary versions were placed the file All existed. After removing this file, recreating the All directory and cheking the category subdirs for broken links to the actual file things seemed to work again. Wimmy |
