you neglected to provide `emerge info` like the bug reporting page says to

so can you provide a bit more info ? was this a brand new install ? if so, what stage tarball did you start with ? if not, was this just a routine `emerge system -u` that failed ?
Brand new stage 1 install... Bootstrap succeeded, emerge system did not.
Created attachment 46751 [details] make.conf this is a make.conf that was used to reproduce bug on sparc: - unpack stage1-3004.3 - install attached make.conf - emerge sync - ./bootstrap.sh - emerge system <watch ncurses fail>
ok, but you didnt say what stage tarball you used :) was it a 2004.3 alpha stage1 ?
2004.3 is correct...used the last portage available on the day i installed...i think the portage date is dec 19th but im not sure
i just talked to the sparc guy who hit this problem ... he said that it happened because he forgot to run `./bootstrap.sh` first ... he just grabbed a stage1, ran `./bootstrap.sh -f`, then ran `emerge system`, and then he hit this bug he started from the beginning again with same make.conf, and everything worked fine when he did `./bootstrap.sh` and then `emerge system` perhaps you did the same ?
yeah i did...i'll try that when i get back into town. see the thing is, that is what the alpha docs say to do for install.... bootstrap -f then emerge system. I'll double checkj but I'm pretty sure thats what they say. please leave the bug open until i can test this. I can test in a few days.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-alpha.xml?part=1&chap=6 Code Listing 12 says to `bootstrap.sh -f` Code Listing 13 says to `bootstrap.sh` so i guess you just missed a step, that's all
