Hi All,
When I run a sychronization of nordvpn repository I get error 128 :
| Code: | # emaint sync --repo nordvpn
>>> Syncing repository 'nordvpn' into '/var/db/repos/nordvpn'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin --depth 1
fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master
!!! git fetch error in /var/db/repos/nordvpn

Writing database file /var/cache/eix/portage.eix...
Database contains 19095 packages in 173 categories
Action: sync for repo: nordvpn, returned code = 128 |
It's possible that I corrupted my nordvpn local database because when I tried to update the nordvpn package to the last release I encountered this error message about checksum of package :
| Code: | >>> Verifying ebuild manifests
!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /var/db/repos/nordvpn/net-vpn/nordvpn/nordvpn-3.20.2.ebuild

So to fix this problem I ran this command : | Code: | | ebuild nordvpn-3.20.2.ebuild digest |
that overwrites the checksum of package.
Do you know what is the best way to fix this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
kind regards,

AFAIK, there are two different problems:
- that with return code 128, sooner of all, is because the remote overlay is not available
- that with manifest, sooner of all, is because you edited manually files in /var/db/repos/nordvpn.
Editing files in synchronized versions of overlays is a bad idea. If I am not mistaken, it can break git (I think in case of git breakage the return code would be other, not 128). In this case I would just rm -rf the directory /var/db/repos/nordvpn. But I never used eix. It caches something... I am not sure. Maybe to clear all the caches.
For editing files, the files should be first copied to your (local) overlay.
And about 128, if it persists, I would contact the overlay maintainer (create an issue).

Hello halcon,
Thank you so much for your reply, I've already contacted the maintainer of overlay for this problem, he said me a merge was pending between a target branch and the main branch of overlay.
I'm going to to remove the /var/db/repos/nordvpn.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards,
