Description Jeremy Johnson 2007-09-19 15:30:37 UTC 
the gtk+ GLI installer on the 2007.0 LiveCD fails during networkless install. First of all, it doesn't re-format the partitions before copying files (bug or feature?) and then fails if  it can't overwrite a previous file (easily fixed by shelling out to correct the problem). But then it fails complaining about an empty dependency list (but /usr/portage/* and /var/db/* exist with correct permissions):
GetDepListError: FATAL get_deps: Dep list empty

Comment 1 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-16 21:28:50 UTC 
Starting with 2007.1, the installer will be for networkless installs only,
which makes this bug moot.

Pardon me if I'm being dense, but why does "the gtk+ GLI installer on the 2007.0 LiveCD fails during networkless install" become moot when there are only networkless installs?
Comment 4 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-03 20:41:40 UTC 
When I closed this bug, I only looked at the summary which mentions kernel compilation. However, the reporter's problems stem not reformatting the filesystem he's installing on to (which is a feature, not a bug). Looking at your bug, you probably did the same thing.
