Bug 84664 – linux-headers-2.6.10 emerge fails (2005.0 profile update)

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Taylor 2005-03-09 13:35:32 UTC]

Since the 2005.0 media is due out any day now, I decided to try and upgrade to the new profile.  I followed the instructions given in the URL, but it failed when trying to emerge linux-headers-2.6.10.  However, when I tried to emerge it without the "-v --oneshot" options, it worked fine - this might be a portage problem?

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2005-03-09 15:41:24 UTC]

so `emerge linux-headers` works but `emerge -v linux-headers` fails ?

[Comment 2 Paul Taylor 2005-03-09 17:28:17 UTC]

I'm not sure.  Having installed linux-headers-2.6.10 and upgraded to the 2005.0 profile manually (instead of using the script), I can't reproduce the problem now - sorry.

If there isn't sufficient information to reproduce the problem, you can close this bug report.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2005-03-09 17:33:23 UTC]

yeah, i cant reproduce it here either with or without -v :/

please re-open if you come across any more info ...

[Comment 4 Mark Gillespie 2005-03-14 14:44:34 UTC]

Did not work for me either, failing exactly as described.  This needs re-opening, as many people are reporting this problem in the forums.

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-03-18 08:34:07 UTC]

Same here on the new box, trying to update to 2005.0 from 2004.3 stage1.
emerge -v1 isn't the problem.
There's something with the makefile, imho. Maybe translating it into a simpler shell script could help.
