• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2010-10-27 13:13:11 UTC]

Platform is SUSE Enterprise 10 SP2. Bootstrapping fails in the `emerge -e system' step, at package 68 of 138, which is perl-core/Module-Build-0.36.07. The console has

what is the bootstrap portage you have at the moment it fails?

[Comment 2 Fabian Groffen 2010-10-31 20:49:52 UTC]

what is your EPREFIX and ROOT set to?

[Comment 3 Rabbe Fogelholm 2010-11-01 17:23:45 UTC]

The `USE=-git emerge -u system' step pulls in portage version 2.2.01.17133, so that is the version that should be in effect.

Not sure what you mean by ROOT?

The value of EPREFIX is /local/tmp/j, where /local/tmp is a symlink pointing to /local/scratch (which is a true directory), and /local/scratch/j is a symlink to /local/scratch/nightly/2010-11-01 (directories all the way).

Created attachment 252809 [details, diff]
shebang-check.patch

ok, then I see where this goes wrong.

Can you please try attached patch to see if that fixes the issue sufficiently for you?

I'm under the understanding that EPREFIX as a symlink does not work with the toolchain (tried it, failed badly), should supporting it even be attempted?

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2010-11-01 19:37:53 UTC]

well, if it is as easy to fix, as this is, then I see no reason why not to attempt to

[Comment 7 Rabbe Fogelholm 2010-11-02 13:11:42 UTC]

Good news, the patch fixes the problem and bootstrapping succeeds all the way again.

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2010-11-09 18:25:00 UTC]

ok, fixing then
