hi.
for the first time i've installed sabayon in my machine. following the wiki link

Code:
http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=En:Entropy
i tried upgrading my system. however it ends up in an error. it reads the following

Code:
 ## Source Package Manager is too old, please update it: UnsupportedAPIException()

Johnny,
please can you explain why you would run those commands and what they do?

Fred.

You need to use portage, the gentoo package manager to update equo.
layman -a :adds the sabayon and sabayon-distro repository ports to portage.
layman --sync ALL :makes sure the different ports play together,
emerge --sync :updates the portage package list.

## You can do two and three of the above with one command: emerge --sync && layman --sync sabayon && layman --sync sabayon-distro

emerge entropy equo :installs equo and entropy using the gentoo package manager.

Now you can do your updates: equo upgrade --ask : --ask shows you what will be upgraded, any dependencies, etc. Just type 'y' a couple of times and you're off and running.

I'm having the same exact issue.

* IMPORTANT: 10 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-vcs/git".

emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: dev-libs/glib, dev-cpp/gtkmm, dev-libs/gmime?
Now trying this:

That command completed successfully. It did note that Portage is out of date, so I'm updating that using this command:

Quote:
emerge --oneshot portage
Successful. However, it's still fussing about git with the Sabayon overlay... switching back over to Entropy...

Quote:
equo sys-apps/portage
Installed along with all the other system updates. Fixed.

Hi, try follow setp. In the console.

su
equo install --nodeps sys-apps/entropy rigo equo

If the problem is exist, and the equo shows some packages need to updrade, please use follow command to upgrade them first.

equo install sys-apps/portage --norecursive --ask
equo install sys-apps/entropy --norecursive --ask
equo install sys-devel/binutils --norecursive --ask
...

This one did it for me. Most of the time when updating an old sabayon system, this is it.
Somehow 19.03 fails to install so I install using 18.05 but if you try to upgrade such an old system, after a while, errors with rigo/equo start coming.
