ok, I filed the bug at 5:00 am, so I had some sleep, did some debugging, started fresh. I formatted the partition I was using for this, untarred a md5sum-checked stage1-x86-2004.2 in it, put some hosts, hostname, resolv.conf, make.conf in it, mounted /proc, chrooted in, env-update, source /etc/profile, emerge sync. Here it gets interesting. doing "cd /usr/portage; ./scripts/bootstrap.sh" all works fine. when I stop that, do "cd /etc; rm make.profile; ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86 make.profile" and then bootstrap again, I get the above "emerge: please tell me what to do" error. Even after changing back to the default-x86-2004.2 profile, the problem stays. you have to use bootstrap-cascade.sh for cascading profiles you have to use bootstrap-cascade.sh for cascading profiles |
