Bug 257282 – binutils-2.19.50.0.1 fails to emerge in Prefix Portage bootstrapping

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2009-02-01 20:22:41 UTC]

sys-devel/binutils-2.19.50.0.1 fails to emerge during bootstrapping. The platform is SUSE 10 Enterprise SP 1. I have compared package versions against a successful bootstrapping done 24 hours earlier and I found these changes:

< var/db/pkg/app-shells/bash-3.2_p48
---
> var/db/pkg/app-shells/bash-3.2_p17-r1


< var/db/pkg/sys-devel/bison-2.4.1
---
> var/db/pkg/sys-devel/bison-2.4-r1

The last part of the console log goes:

Don't know why, but since 2009-02-06 sys-devel/binutils-2.19.50.0.1 again emerges fine. I will keep console logs for about 7 days if anyone wants to investigate.

Appreciate your work. Not sure what to do here so I'm resolving it as INVALID.
