When running scripts/bootstrap.sh I receive, I receive: !!! Problem in sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6 dependencies. !!! "Specific key requires an operator (sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6) (try adding an '=')" exceptions during the operation. I modified the scripts/bootstrap.sh from: [[ -z ${myBASELAYOUT} ]] && myBASELAYOUT="$(portageq best_version / virtual/bas elayout)" to: [[ -z ${myBASELAYOUT} ]] && myBASELAYOUT="baselayout" And it seems to be running without a problem now. On a side note, strangely enough after it failed, if I ran the same command again, the system told me it finished successfully although it had not. Only running it again afterwords would I get another failure. It would only say "nothing to resume". So this fails with the dependency error every odd attempt and with "nothing to resume" after every even attempt. System information: Image: install-x86-minimal-2005.0.iso System package: stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2 Portage: portage-20050514.tar.bz2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from 2005.0 iso 2. Follow the x86 handbook from gentoo.org and use the portage-20050514.tar.bz2 image 3. run scripts/bootstrap.sh Actual Results: !!! Problem in sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6 dependencies. !!! "Specific key requires an operator (sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6) (try adding an '=')" exceptions Expected Results: Compiled a whole wack of stuff. This bug stops me from doing installation on a system without modification to the scripts in a way that is not assumed.
looks like portage has changed behavior ? i thought older versions of portage would resolve virtuals to just 'sys-apps/baselayout' instead of a full version ?
I can't see how that's possible... best_version asks for the best _version_. In other words, it essentially gives back the same as if `emerge -p virtual/baselayout` had been run.
well the code has been like that since march 28th ... maybe no one has reported it before added a '>=' in the variable
