Unknown coded garbage on line 11 of make.conf in the stage3 tarball of 2008.0 beta2 causes env-update to fail with an error for unknown variables. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start new system installation with current stage3 tarball downloaded from denver LUG http server (tarball downloaded 05222008, 0200 MST). Proceed through normal installation steps to chroot, start env-update as normal, should throw error for unrecognized variables on line 11 (eleven). 2. nano /etc/make.conf, proceed to line 11, remove offending garbage text, ctrl-x, save. 3. re-run env-update: command should now be successful and report >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... Actual Results: Problem was resolved after deleting text from line 11 (eleven) in /etc/make.conf. Expected Results: env-update should report >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... without any incident upon successful run. No additional programs running, using only documented/suggested variables in make.conf per the installation instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6 . No logs reflecting the bad output could be located (any suggestion for where to find a log for env-update will be appreciated and I'll upload anything relevant I can find). Unable to get information from emerge --info in to the bug report.
It looks fine to me. Also, there are only 8 lines in that file. agaffney@poseidon ~ $ tar -O -xjf /release/webroot/x86/stages/stage3-i686-2008.0_beta2.tar.bz2 ./etc/make.conf # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically # built this stage. # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
