there is no /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db in gentoo-freebsd-6.1-stage-20060509.tar.bz2 . so the uid->username mapping does not work which results in many errors during installation. "pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd" creates the necessary files and fixed the problem for me. emerge info: Gentoo Base System version 20060420 Portage 2.1.1_pre3-r1 (default-bsd/fbsd/6.1/x86, gcc-3.4.6, freebsd-lib-6.1-r0, 6.1-RELEASE i386) ================================================================= System uname: 6.1-RELEASE i386 i386 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 6.1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86-fbsd ~x86-fbsd" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-gentoo-freebsd6.1" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-gentoo-freebsd6.1" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sfperms strict userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/portage-alt-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86-fbsd X cups gdbm gif hardened jpeg ncurses ogg oss pam perl pic png python readline ssl tcpd truetype usb xml xorg xv zlib elibc_FreeBSD input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_FreeBSD userland _BSD" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
arachnist just pointed out that the files are created when emerging freebsd-baselayout... maybe the solution is to emerge freebsd-baselayout earlier (at the very beginning?) within a emerge -e world
The new stage fixes this, and the next ones will be fixed, too.
