I repeated the Stage 1 install procedure. Bootstrapping works fine. when its time to "emerge system", there are 72 packages to be emerged. emerge system craps out on package number 14, gettext-1.03. gettext compilation is dependent upon perl, and perl is not yet installed. to get around this, i have tried "emerge libperl && emerge libperl". after emerging perl, when performing "emerge system", there are now 54 packages to be emerged. this problem in portage remains unfixed from version 2004.2. the only difference is that instead of occurring during the performance of the bootstrap.sh script, this error now occurs during emerge system. I don't see a portage issue here. if this is not a portage problem, i guess i am mistaken in my understanding that portage is responsible for the order in which packages and their dependencies are emerged. if portage is not responsible in this case, can you tell me where should i be looking for a rectification of this error? I have the same problem. I bootstrap with x86 and emerge system with ~x86 and "emerge system" fails on the Locale-gettext package. It tries to use perl when it perl isn't yet installed. For me, it seems to only do this when you emerge system with ~x86. I too am having this same problem. I'm installing from scratch, from the 2004.3 LiveCD, and using NPTL. Here's what I did after setting up my hard drives: 1. extract stage 1 tarball (from the 2004.3 LiveCD) 2. set /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf and etc/portage/* how I want them (see below) 3. copy /etc/resolv.conf and mount proc 4. chroot 5. 'emerge sync' 6. 'cd /usr/portage' 7. 'scripts/bootstrap.sh' After glibc puked saying that linux-headers wasn't greater than 2.6.5 (it was 2.4-somthing), I did: 8. 'emerge -C linux-headers' 9. 'USE="-* build bootstrap" emerge linux26-headers' 10. 'scripts/bootstrap.sh' (this time it bootstrapped flawlessly) 11. 'emerge system' After it successfully chewed through a few packages, it failed: >>> md5 src_uri ;-) help2man-1.29.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking help2man-1.29.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/help2man-1.29/work >>> Source unpacked. ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib checking for perl... no configure: error: perl 5.005 required !!!

All the ebuilds are correct but portage can't handle it (yet). If base system people can offer a temporary solution (again) that would be helpful, but about all we can do for this bug is mark it as a duplicate for the moment. |
