Hello, I'm just installing a fresh system and my "emerge system" broke again. [Last time there was a problem with svgalib, wich i now had to disable for no real reason. :( ] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I ran the installation with a self-made script (see attachments "prepare" and "install") and my lovely make.conf (see attachment). Actual Results: "emerge system" stopped at app-text/xmlto-0.0.18 because: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- configure:3232: checking whether getopt handles long options configure:3240: error: no You need getopt from <http://huizen.dds.nl/~frodol/getopt.html>, or else some other implementation that supports --longoptions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See the attached config.log for more details. Expected Results: emerge system should finish normally after installing all packages.

Created attachment 62866 [details] config.log for more informations
Created attachment 62867 [details] prepare - environement preparation script you will see that it follows the installation handbook with some added customization.
Created attachment 62868 [details] install - system installation script (untik kernel incl.) you will see that it follows the installation handbook with some added customization.
Created attachment 62869 [details] make.conf - makes the system feel like it's mine ;-) no rants please. i've read enough guides/docs to think i know what i did. ;) but tips of what i could do better are always welcome. because: nobody's perfect. :)
Oh sorry, I forgot: the text at the end of "emerge system" told me to use config.log to "please" file a bug report. ;) So I did. And I really searched for everything containing xmlto in the bug list. (I couldn't believe that it wasn't reported yet. ;) I hope I made finding the problem easy...
Do you have /usr/bin/getopt in your system? Do you have sys-apps/util-linux installed? The reason this doesn't seem to be a problem for most people is that util-linux is part of the default profile, so by the time the user installs xmlto, util-linux (and the getopt program) should already be in the system. Your case is showing that something's wrong and apparently util-linux wasn't installed. I will add util-linux as an explicit dep to xmlto, but I'll wait for your confirmation first. Also, please avoid posting unnecessary data in your bug reports. Initially, we are only interested in the output from "emerge info", the output from the emerge process and possibly the relevant config.log file, and we'll let you know if we need something else from there. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #6) > Do you have /usr/bin/getopt in your system? > Do you have sys-apps/util-linux installed? Please try to read the whole bug-report before asking such questions: ;) "Hello, I'm just installing a _fresh system_ and my _"emerge system"_ broke again." Or is there any case where someone is installing a fresh system and uses emerge system after he already installed most of his system? ;) (In that case sorry for my unknowledge... i'm just a user...) > Your case is showing that something's wrong and apparently util-linux wasn't installed. Hmm... must be the use flags, right? But I don't think someone can rely on a package to be installed in gentoo... Too much configurability I guess. And if you are allowed to set an use-flag combination then it shoud work, if I understood the gentoo-philosophy correctly... And else it should give a straight error-message at the beginning of the bootstrap or an emerge. There's a reason "ability" is a part of "configurability", isn't it? ;) > I will add util-linux as an explicit dep to xmlto, but I'll wait for your > confirmation first. Would be fine. :) How long do I have to wait until i can try again to install my system / gentoo? I'm *a bit* under time-pressure, and any way to minimize that time would be wonderful... (like using another server for rsync/packages...) > Also, please avoid posting unnecessary data in your bug reports.

ACK. Last time I got told that I did not deliver enough information all the time, so this time I wanted to be sure. ;) At least maybe someone finds the scripts useful. ;) > Thanks. Dito
Note on initial "severity" setting: I had set it to "blocker", because it blocked the usage of software. Those software was the whole gentoo installation. So in fact it still blocks me from installing gentoo at all. If this is not a blocker, then what is it? ;) Anyway. You're the developers, so i leave this decision to you...
xmlto depends now on util-linux. Thanks for the report. As a work-around, just emerge util-linux manually before xmlto.

damn. now i'm stuck again with xmlto. this time i got the bug back from xmlto-0.0.15 long time ago: /etc/xml/* catalogs are broken or something like that. i'm just trying the solution i got from the old fixed bug reports (easily to find when searching "xmlto-0.0.15 network entity" or a similar query in bugzilla) *crossing fingers* why isn't this still fixed yet? or is it a demon that just does come back on every version? ;)
