Works here, although I don't see why you'd be having that issue. Try emerging sync and then
reinstalling the package. If that doesn't work, reinstall portage.

Hope that works for you. Please feel free to e-mail me or post to this bug if it doesn't.

[Comment 2 Miles Lubin 2005-04-02 20:32:11 UTC]

Nope, still doesnt work. I scrolled up and found more errors before the merge:

Please emerge the following:

sys-apps/freebsd-stat-5.3_p20050202

That provides "readlink". Let me know if it works so I can close this bug.

[Comment 4 Miles Lubin 2005-04-02 21:31:28 UTC]

That fixed it. Though shouldn't freebsd-stat be in the ppc-macos base system?

[Comment 5 Lina Pezzella (RETIRED) 2005-04-03 10:53:31 UTC]

It is in system, although it might not have been when you installed gentoo for osx.
