Bugzilla Bug 207391

catalyst complains about missing linux32:

!!! catalyst: required /bin/linux32 executable not found ("emerge linux32" to
fix.)

But infact it is installed. (but under /usr/bin/linux32).

I'll attach a fix to solve the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Building a stage-3 for target x86 on amd64.

Actual Results:

corrected check for linux32

check for /usr/bin/linux32 and not just /bin/linux32

(Hmm, should have adapted the error message as well ...)

You shouldn't be using the catalyst 1.x series anymore. This hasn't been
developed for almost 2 years. Use the latest 2.0.x version.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 138080 ***

Nice.
catalyst 2.x is masked but 1.x is not.
And documentation http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/
says:

"The current 1.x branch will remain supported and will be used for bug-fix only
until the 2.0 branch is stabilized"
(Once in a while I rely on documentation and stick to stable packages but maybe
I shouldn't ;-)

Will switch to 2.0.x version but IMHO the documentation should be
updated and 1.x should be masked.

Thanks Andreas

2.0.x isn't masked. It's simple ~arch. There's a *big* difference. The only
reason 2.0.x hasn't been stabilized is because the documentation hasn't been
updated.
