I'm installing from the LiveCD 2006.0. From the GUI, I started with the graphical installer which ran into trouble. So I switched to the command line installer and continued using the installprofile.xml (from the GLI) as my base. After several hours and emerging multiple packages the installer displayed the following: There was an Exception received during the install that is outside of the normal install errors. This is a bad thing. The error was:EmergePackageError :FATAL: emerge: Could not emerge gnome-extra/gcalctool-5.6.31! Please submit a bug report (after searching to make sure it's not a known issue and verifying you didn't do something stupid) with the contents of /var/log/install.log and /tmp/installprofile.xml and the version of the installer you used. Below are the contents of files /var/log/installer.log.failed, /tmp/installprofile.xml, and the output of "emerge --info" ################################################################################ #### /var/log/installer.log.failed #### GLI: April 22 2006 13:44:55 - Setting root password.

Emerge errors are not a problem with the installer. Please change your USE flags or choose less additional packages to install next time. Since this error occurred in the installation of extra packages step, you can reboot into your new system and emerge the packages, and add the user following the handbook.
