i was bootstrapping a new hppa system from a stage1 when i noticed this my make.profile is set to default-linux/hppa/2004.2 in default-linux/hppa/virtuals, we have this: virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/hppa-headers when i try to `emerge virtual/os-headers -p`, i get this error: emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/os-headers". if i copy the virtuals file to default-linux/hppa/2004.2/virtuals, it works: [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/hppa-headers-2.4.23_p3 Portage 2.0.51_rc7 (default-linux/hppa/2004.2, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.20-pa32 parisc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-pa32 parisc Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: Automake: Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r4 Headers: Libtools: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="hppa" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=2.0 -O2 -pipe -mschedule=8000" CHOST="hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=2.0 -O2 -pipe -mschedule=8000" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks noauto noinfo sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://vapier" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://gentoo/gentoo-portage" USE="hppa X berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod motif ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib"
