Description Andreas Herrmann 2008-01-25 16:08:50 UTC
IMHO the page should refer to util-linux and not to setarch for installation of linux32. Or will both packages (setarch and util-linux) be maintained
cocurrently in the future?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See Code listing 3.5 on
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=2
Actual Results:  
Code Listing 3.5: Changing inside the chroot

(Only perform this step if you don't have setarch already installed)
# emerge setarch


Expected Results:  
Code Listing 3.5: Changing inside the chroot

(Only perform this step if you don't have /usr/bin/linux32 already installed.
Note that in older gentoo releases you had to emerge setarch instead of util-linux.)
# emerge util-linux


This is not a big issue, since when emerging setarch you'll either get linux32 installed see a conflict like which points you to an alternate package.

 emerge -p setarch

 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

 Calculating dependencies... done!
 [ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/setarch-2.0  
 [blocks B     ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.13-r2)

But it is somehow confusing and should be updated.

Not a docs-team bug
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-03-29 21:17:57 UTC
setarch was integrated into util-linux ... it will be going away

@base-system: Time to remove setarch then?
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-12-25 22:20:53 UTC
done

@docs team: Could you be so kind to update the doc in $URL to say emerge util-linux instead of setarch now that it has been removed? Thanks!

Fixed, honey.
