When I follow the steps to bootstrap a gentoo prefix described here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml I can't continue beyond "emerge --oneshot sed" since emerge is complaining: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Gentoo/usr/bin/emerge", line 45, in <module> retval = emerge_main() File "/Gentoo/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/main.py", line 1556, in emerge_main myopts, myaction, myfiles, spinner) File "/Gentoo/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/actions.py", line 69, in action_build old_tree_timestamp_warn(settings['PORTDIR'], settings) File "/Gentoo/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/sync/old_tree_timestamp.py", line 92, in old_tree_timestamp_warn if have_english_locale(): File "/Gentoo/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/sync/old_tree_timestamp.py", line 16, in have_english_locale lang, enc = locale.getdefaultlocale() File "/Gentoo/tmp/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 486, in getdefaultlocale return _parse_localename(localename) File "/Gentoo/tmp/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 418, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8 I have a clean English OSX installation. Adding the following lines somewhere around line 418 in ${EPREFIX}/tmp/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py fixes the problem (i think): elif code == 'UTF-8': return None, None Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. bootstrap a gentoo OSX environment 2. emerge something with prefix-portage 3. Actual Results: no gentoo environment Expected Results: A nice and shiny gentoo environment
has this weirdness been reproducable at all?
