So I emerged automake and then emerged system...Seems to work now Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a stage 2 gentoo install 2.emerge system 3.wait until it breaks Actual Results: Something like: "failed to emerge app-text/sgml-common. Couldn't find install-sh in ./ ../ ../../" Expected Results: Emerged app-text/sgml-common esapersona@hotmail.com 2003-06-19 18:45:00 0000 Ack! I forgot version number - Sorry!! This was sgml-common-0.6.3-r3 roman.alex@online.fr 2003-06-19 23:50:24 0000 I started installing yesterday and I encountered exactly the same problem. The only way to get rid of this error was to emerge automake. Thanks to Royce for the fix ! obz@gentoo.org 2003-09-07 23:23:36 0000 okay, we can add automake to the depends of sgml-common, if it really does need it. obz@gentoo.org 2003-09-12 23:31:11 0000 Fixed in portage now, versions -r3 and -r4 should depend on automake. Thanks for reporting.
