Bug 20157

Summary: In Stage2 step of system build - emerge system - hexdump missing error while building man 1.5l-r2
Product: Gentoo Release Media Reporter: G. Gibson <mrgibson>
Component: EverythingAssignee: Gentoo Release Team <releng>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: minor CC: jan.schenk, sebastian
Priority: High    
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   
Whiteboard:
Package list:
Runtime testing required: ---

Description G. Gibson 2003-04-29 05:11:58 UTC
Distro: x86, Gentoo Linux 1.4_rc4
(after bootstrap build nicely)

stimulus:  'emerge system' command issued

results:

function src_compile, line #71 (Exitcode 2)
     man.c, line #1107: hexdump missing

The problem appears to merely be about the order in which builds are completed.

Hardware: Tyan Titan - Dual 180Mhz Pentium Pro - 440FX chipset - 160MB Ram
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="--march=pentiumpro -O2 -pipe"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge system
Actual Results:  
I attempted to do a work around (see Additional Information)

Expected Results:  
built man properly without breaking

oops - I didn't know the 'emerge info' feature was there sorry.  very nice of you to build it in 
though, I'll use it in the future.

Workaround:

emerge util-linux (to put hexdump in place PRIOR to man being built)
emerge man (just to see if that was all that was wrong)
emerge system (to continue along its merry way)

Suggestion:

Perhaps you would like to make the 'man' build happen after the util-linux stuff, or very late in the 
system build process.  I had sort of expected hexdump to be a part of the 'binutils' portion.

I'm very impressed with your distro so far, thank you for saving us from RPM hell.  ;)

not a livecd bug 
Comment 2 Ben Measures 2003-04-29 07:48:52 UTC
I'm getting the same problem. Reproducable always.

Stage 2 emerge system fails with sys-apps/man-1.5l-r2 apparently (and rightly) complaining about missing hexdump.

Athlon XP 1700+

default CHOST, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS
custom USE flags, to remove KDE/QT ;D
