Yestrday I updated all available packages. The only package I couldn't update was GCC because it failed several times. Unfortunately I don't have a log of the GCC build because I had the update running overnight and didn't keep a log. Today I noticed that I couldn't use emerge anymore. Some checking with ebuild revealed that portage stop right after executing the "fetch"-stage and won't execute unpack - even if unpack ist directly executed via the ebuild command.

does your harddisk work ?
The harddisk works fine. To make sure I just ran a complete fsck and checked the logfiles for errors, but there is no indication of errors. I'm attaching a logfile of an "emerge -v --debug gcc", perhaps this sheds some light on my problem.
Created attachment 25387 [details] Logfile of "emerge -v --debug gcc"
After checking --verbose and --debug outputs and poking around inside the ebuild-scripts I just found a fairly simple solution: A binary package of portage-2.0.49-r21 (compiled on a different box) installed fine and works. The problem seems to be with the portage-2.0.50-r1 ebuild which doesn't install correctly on this box.
I also have this problem. Anything I try to emerge it just acts like i passed -f to emerge. This also happens when I try ebuild /path/to/ebuild.ebuild unpack. Same thing, just gives me an MD5 and stops. I cannot continue using portage I guess. I have to untar an older portage-rescue to get emerge to work again, and I think I've had some ebuilds that won't emerge because I'm not using a new enough version. Untarring a binary version is not going to work for the future. I'd like to know why this happens, and how to fix it. Can someone offer a suggestion? what's RESOLVED WORKSFORME mean anyway? That this doesn't happen to everyone? Shouldn't be closed since it's obvious it doesn't happen to everyone. Anyway, what do I need to do to figure out what's going on here. This started happening to me when I went to sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r6.
Created attachment 31145 [details] log of what emerging the new portage does. I don't see anything weird here, but I dunno what I'm looking for.
