I've just reinstalled gentoo, and in stage 2, on emerge system, emerging of coreutils failed because it's dependencies weren't satisfied. emerge system wants to install coreutils before autoconf and gettext and some other packages it depends on... if `acl` USE flag is set, sys-apps/acl is installed as a dependency, but it needs autoconf and gettext (even with -nls in USE). coreutils cannot be installed because it also depends on cvs, it seems: >>> Source unpacked. autopoint: *** cvs program not found autopoint: *** Stop. autoreconf-2.57: autopoint failed with exit status: 1 coreutils also depend on 'aclocal', from package automake. coreutils also depend on pam. (su seems to need it, to be more precise) coreutils also seem to like having help2man installed.
Hey people... are you still alive or what ?
Bump! adding CC to bug-wranglers
shadow -- as far as I know Azarah sorted out the autpoint stuff, automake is listed explicitly as a compile time dependency, and su is no longer even built with coreutils, since we use that provided by shadow instead. Also, help2man seems to be listed explicitly as a dependency as well. I'll close this bug, please re-open if this isn't fixed.
