genkernel-next 68
Kernel sources removed from system

genkernel --no-clean --kerncache=<path to cachefile> --no-kernel-sources initramfs

deletes the /lib symlink to /lib64 and replaces it with a directory, into which it unpacks the modules cache from  the kernel cachefile.

Building the initramfs then fails because the udev rules and other goodies it wants out of /lib are gone.

I can probably provide a VM image that reproduces this if necessary.

Looks like gk-next needs to apply the same fix gk added a few years ago: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/gen_package.sh?id=e49b8a450aba6eced9caa608a3bfdc38a7dbe677

Probably should be reported upstream

Done.  Hopefully that's the right "upstream".  The portage entry gives its homepage as just gentoo.org.
