Bug 10293 – 1.2 --> 1.4 Update step2 dies

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Kallar (RETIRED) 2002-11-05 15:43:30 UTC]

I tried the 1.4 update scripts, and the step2 script dies emerging gcc3.2:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2-r1/work/build/zlib'
Bootstrapping the compiler
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2-r1/work/build/gcc'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `bootstrap-lean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/pertage/gcc-3.2-r1/work/build/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfuly.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 102, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

I updated the arch variable to ppc for step2 script, cleaned out the
/var/tmp/portage directory per the script readme, and script 1 ran fine.

This is on a newly installed OldWorld UMAX S900 running from the 1.2 PPC iso.

emerge rsync
and try it again.

[Comment 2 Joe Kallar (RETIRED) 2002-11-06 12:37:05 UTC]

Tried emerge (r)sync and emerge portage and then the step2 script already. I 
also tried emerge system, and did notice that gcc was last to be emerged on 
emerge system, whereas the script wanted to run emerge gcc earlier. Still no 
luck, emerge system merged everything OK, except gcc.

Emerged portage and binutils, but it seems the script emerges them again anyway.
with the same error as below but the scripts ends:
emerge gcc binutils FAILED.


/var/log/emerge.log says:

Honestly, Don't bother to try and update from 1.2 -> 1.4, its _really_ not worth
it from experience

[Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2002-11-07 13:26:18 UTC]

Redownload the scripts. I made a change to them for portage-2.0.43 changes.
Lemme know how that goes.

Sorry, after reading Gerk's comments here and in the PPC forum, I blew away the
1.2 and I'm setting up a 1.4rc1 PPC stage 3. :(

I just did find that iptables dies similarly, but I'll post another bug for that.

[Comment 7 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) 2002-11-18 02:33:03 UTC]

should we add something to the 1.2->1.4 update doc that says it is not for ppc ?

[Comment 8 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2002-11-18 14:33:25 UTC]

grrrr.
