Installing Gentoo on an x86, Live CD, 1.4-rc3, I received an error concerning addpatches. Doing an emerge -s addpatches, I detemined that app-admin/addpatches was not installed. After installing app-admin/addpatches, the issue was resolved. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Gentoo from an x86 Live CD, 1.4-rc3 2. Following installation guide - run bootstrap, emerge system, emerge -u world 3. Attempt to install gentoo-sources Actual Results: gentoo-sources (i believe it was r1, but do not have access to the computer to check right now, I checked the ebuilds and saw no dependencies, so it is probably just an error with the bootstrap or emerge system) crashed while attempting to add patches. Expected Results: Installed the patches to the kernel. It simply appears that app-admin/addpatches was not installed during the bootstrap or emerge system. Adding it to 'system' (so that it would be installed with emerge system) or to the bootstrap) for the next release of the Gentoo Live CD should resolve the issue.
same here. think addpatches should be a dependency of gentoo-sources.
