Bug 585944 – Live CD linked from Install Guide breaks portage

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Mauricio L. Pilla (RETIRED) 2016-06-14 15:39:52 UTC]

For some strange reason, after using FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso from the link in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_FreeBSD in a VirtualBox install breaks portage completely, i.e., nothing can be installed or upgraded.

In the install phase, I get messages such as 

/usr/lib/portage/python3.4/ebuild-helpers/prepstrip: line 291: 
               /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.5.1-r3/temp/sh-np-4192441162: 
               Interrupted system call

For all packages. 

I tried a stage2 and a stage3 tar balls with no difference between them. 

Using a mfsBSD Live CD (the first one in the list http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/) with FreeBSD 10.3 works as a charm so far.

Probably, this bug is a duplicate of bug 574426. (and see also bug 447810)
Please try to update app-shells/bash.

Gentoo/FreeBSD has a lot of issues.
Please check my script...

Howdy,

Using a newer live cd works without emerging a newer bash, but I did both anyway.

The OpenRC version that comes with the stage 3 is also broken, it is not possible to run services such as sshd because of the lack of /sbin/openrc-run. Updating OpenRC was enough to make it work.

If you don't mind, I am planning on making a stage 3 from my current install if I can make it go through the steps to 10.3.

*-fbsd is gone.
