You didn't include any errors, we can't guess. Generally, stage1 install is unsupported, you are on your own there. Don't forget that you need to run emerge --emptytree system, not just emerge system. Since this problem only occurs as part of an unsupported installation method, I'm not reopening the bug. If sys-apps/coreutils fails in src_compile() with "Can't locate auto/POSIX/assert.al", it is because dev-lang/perl was built with USE=build (probably as part of the stage1 tarball). Can someone explain to me how this isn't a bug? True that it is unsupported, however, there is a clear method for fixing the bug. I just ran across this myself. I don't expect support, so I found the solution myself, but the solution involves running emerge -e system (compile 90 some packages, fail on coreutils) emerge perl emerge -e system (compile those same 90 packages again) Don't give me support, please just fix the bug.

After doing a recent stage 1 install, I've hit the same problem. I know this isn't supported, but for completeness (and to help other people who may get this problem), I'm going to post: 1- error message, 2- solution, 3- recommendation so people don't have to search bugzilla 1- Error message: see previously attached build log (I've cut it to the error message) 2- Solution: During the: emerge -e system when coreutils fails, run: emerge perl emerge --resume This will prevent the need to rebuild all that was already built. 3- Recommendation (2): a- Provide a stage 1 with a perl install that include assert.al (or whatever else is neededfor coreutils to build from) b- Modify the FAQ to add a note that state that if coreutils fails due to this, then to run the above solution. |
