Bug 113299 – Migration between different CHOSTs during a stage 1/2 installation fails with emerge errors

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Rafael 2005-11-22 15:56:52 UTC]

Migration between different CHOSTs during a stage 1/2 installation
when doing emerge -e system. This bug seems to affect mainly autoconf-2.59
and cronbase.
Autoconf fails because of Perl not being recompiled before it (Data::Dumper 
module is not found) and cronbase because there is no functional Shadow for 
adding the user/group.

To work around this bug, a change in dependencies should be done, so that the 
order of affected packages is :
perl -> shadow -> cronbase

The respective dependencies get pulled in in right order too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.decide to make a stage 1/2 installation
2.change CHOST value
3.emerge -e system (evtl. after successful bootstrap if stage1 install)

Actual Results:  
emerge -e system breaks at cronbase. even if this one gets injected externally 
with ROOT="..." set, autoconf-2.59 will fail because of not-found perl module

Expected Results:  
all steps from stage1 throughout the installation until a reboot should run 
flawlessly
