*** Bug 477812 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Let's slow down a little here. Poking at the source code reveals a file named gentoo-packages.xml, which has a list of our names for several packages and even has emerge listed as "package manager." Then there's a file in the "scripts" dir named install-gentoo-packages.sh, which consists of the following: #!/bin/sh # Gentoo package installation echo "Please enter your root password below:" 1>&2 su root -c "emerge -v $*" exit It's prompting for your root password to install missing dependencies. This does bring up the important question of why these aren't in DEPEND/RDEPEND (and so I'm CCing maintainers to have a look), but there's nothing nefarious going on here as far as I can tell. Chris, if there is anything I can offer let me know. I while testing, found the phoronix suiete. For testing purposes, let me know ... otherwise this is being removed. I did remove it, everything we have been taught as linux users, and teach others. Use the package manager to install packages! I feel phoronix-test-suite should tell me the list of missing dependencies, and then try the test again. I could not help myself and installed it again. Look at this list of packages it wants to install. Several packages like libpng, libsdl, curl, libstdc++, I already have installed. I can see how maybe 1 binary package like freeimage may be harmless, but look at this list. You can see I chose test 51, pts/graphics I could go down the whole list of 54 test, see how many packages in total it wants to install, I see that as pointless. 49: pts/processor 50: pts/disk 51: pts/graphics 52: pts/memory 53: pts/network 54: pts/other Select Suite: 51 The following dependencies are needed and will be installed: - app-arch/p7zip - media-libs/libpng - media-libs/libsdl - media-libs/sdl-net - media-libs/sdl-image - media-libs/lib3ds - media-libs/freeimage - media-libs/imlib2 - app-shells/tcsh - virtual/libstdc++-3.3 - dev-util/ftjam - dev-util/scons - net-misc/curl This process may take several minutes.
