The arm-uclibc stage1 environment doesn't work with portage. After syncing every emerge operation ends up giving errors like this: [Errno 38] Function not implemented This happens only with the uclibc package. The normal glibc-stage1 for arm is working. Exampe, having done emerge-webrsync: # emerge -pO portage These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! Problem in sys-apps/portage dependencies. !!! [Errno 38] Function not implemented: '/var/cache/edb/dep//usr/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.18' exceptions Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unpack for example this ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/experimental/arm/embedded/stages/stage1-arm-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 into a folder on your PC and export it via NFS. 2. Chroot with your PDA in the directory (Zaurus SL5600 prefered :) ) and perform an emerge sync or emerge-webrsync. 3. Try to bootstrap, to emerge -pO portage or to do emerge metadata. Actual Results: # emerge -pO portage These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! Problem in sys-apps/portage dependencies. !!! [Errno 38] Function not implemented: '/var/cache/edb/dep//usr/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.18' exceptions Expected Results: # emerge -p portage These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Created attachment 58463 [details, diff] guts exception handling to get the tb
has nothing to do with portage, it's because you're using a 2.4 kernel
released 2.4 stages a while ago
