Description Seth Chromick 2003-05-27 02:06:06 UTC

'emerge sync' produces this output...

Portage 2.0.48: bash: line 1 usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: No such file or directory
>>> Regenerating ld.so.cache...
Traceback (Most recent call last):
File: /usr/bin/emerge, line 1763 in ?
File: /usr/bin/emerge, line 1133 in merge
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Afterwards, env-update, emerge, and misc other commands are simply gone.
/usr/portage/* remains, but I cannot do anything. I have tried the
README.RESCUCE techniques but those didn't seem to do much of anything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check ln -sf whatever /etc/localtime and date
2. emerge -vp system | less
3. prompt: USE="-java -berkdb -doc" emerge system

I am picky about my USE flags and I always do the method above to figure out
what flags will be compiled. Note that I tried emerge system w/same flags in
make.conf and no CLI flags and it's the same problem. I also untarred the stage2
tarball again (which brings back all the missing commands) but it's the same result.

Actual Results:  
Portage 2.0.48: bash: line 1 usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: No such file or directory
>>> Regenerating ld.so.cache...
Traceback (Most recent call last):
File: /usr/bin/emerge, line 1763 in ?
File: /usr/bin/emerge, line 1133 in merge
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Multiple commands disappear / become uninstalled when this error happens
(emerge, env-update, some others I can't remember but thoslisted are the big ones)

Expected Results:  
Self explanatory (Finish the emerge system w/no errors

What stage are you starting from?

Give me the output of the following before you run emerge system:

emerge -v info
