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
setarch was integrated into util-linux ... it will be going away
(In reply to comment #2) > setarch was integrated into util-linux ... it will be going away > @base-system: Time to remove setarch then?
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.
