If compiled with USE="xml" awk/gawk needs libexpat which is stored in /usr/lib. If /usr is using a separate partition these cannot be found during boot so depscan.sh and other critical scripts fail to execute and the system is unusable e.g. because root-partition remains mounted read-only, kernel-modules are not loaded etc. ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gawk with USE="xml" 2. store /usr on ist own partition 3. reboot..... Actual Results: system is unusable and has to be repaired from boot-cd Expected Results: system should boot cleanly - i.e. should be able to access libraries(libexpat.*) from /usr/lib/ Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.9 Python: dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r5,dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 14 2005, 19:31:07)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.2.3-r5, 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex X X509 accounting acl acpi acpi4linux activefilter alsa amd apache2 ared aredmem arts async authdaemond avi berkdbbluetooth bootspla bzlib calendar caps cddb cdparanoia cdr clamav crypt css cups curl dbase dbm dbx devfs dga dio divx4linux dmx dnd dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread encode escreen ethereal evo evo2 exif fastcgi fbcon fbdev ffmpeg fla freetype frxp ftp gb gd geoip gif gimp gimpprint gmp gnome gnomedb gphoto2 gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal hbci ieee1394 imap innodb irmc isdn jabber java jpeg jpeg2k kde kdepim kdexdeltas kerberos koffice-plugin lcms ldap libgda live lm_sensors ltsp lzw lzw-tiff mcal mdb mime ming mmx mmx2 mng mozcalendar mozdevelop mozdomi mozilla mozp3p mozsvg mozxmlterm mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mpeg4 mpi mplayer mysql mythtv nas ncurses network nls nptl nvidia oav odbc offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl operanom2 opie pam pcmcia pcntl pcre pda pdf perl php pic png posix postgres ppds python qt quicktime quotas rdesktop readline rtc samba sasl scanner sdl session simplexml slang slp smartcard smime snmp soap sockets socks5 speedo spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl stroke svg svga sysvipc tcpd tidy tiff tokenizer transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd vcdimagervhosts vim-with-x virus-scan wavelan wddx wifi wmf wxwin wxwindows xfs xine xinerama xinetd xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xosd xpm xprint xrandr xscreensaver xsl xv xvid xvmc yv12 zlib video_cards_radeon linguas_de" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
