Bug 82911 – baselayout does not always create /etc/env.d/04multilib, which is required by some things.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Tony Murray 2005-02-21 20:51:20 UTC]

Ok, I have a 2004.3 profile AMD64 system and am trying to update to the 2005.0 multilib profile following the directions on this page http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/2005.0-upgrade-amd64.xml

After emergeing baselayout-1.11.9-r1, /etc/env.d/04multilib is not created which causes the upgrade script to fail.  Here is the pertinant section from baselayout's ebuild.

        # List all the multilib libdirs in /etc/env/04multilib (only if they're
        # actually different from the normal
       if [ $(number_abis) -ne 1 -o $(get_libdir) != "lib" ]; then
                echo "LDPATH=\"${libdirs_env}\"" > ${D}/etc/env.d/04multilib
       fi

In the previous version the if statement wasn't there.  This is probably correct behavior, if so the script and page should be updated...

When I tried to move my new install 2004.3 -> 2005.0 I get:

# emerge -v --oneshot '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51-r9'
Calculating dependencies ...done!

I installed gentoo today, using stage3, and thus I synced today as well.
I have tried to manually emerge 'baselayout' and it upgraded it:

[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r7 [1.9.4-r6]

this created the /etc/env.d/04multilib file, however, that did not fix the multilib complaining.

I also have /lib32/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.4.so

Michael, you seem to have a different problem.  Please open another bug and provide 'emerge --info'

Closing.
