Building my first system. Finished the bootloader and wanted to update from 2004.2 to the latest release. Have no clue how to get this system to go forward. here is the output of the emerge command. !!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert' !!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fis this. If it does !!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev !!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org) removing the file then reports the ARCH not set. emerge --sync brings the error message above back. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from the LiveCD follow the manual through the bootstrap setup 2.after booting from the kernel that genkernel created + coldplug + hotplug + lilo changes as per the installation doc 3.emerge --sync ; emerge -u world 4. perform the rm;emerge sync as suggested in the dialog error 5. perform any emerge command repeats this loop.erme Actual Results: emerge -u world was recommended in the installation document, have no idea what I would see other than an emerge transaction flow. Expected Results: updates to the package that would take all installed components to a release greater than 2004.2. This is the first time I've used gentoo. I have many years of experience with linux, mostly redhat versions, and a touch of FreeBSD experience. But I'm still not sure what all this portage stuff is about yet, so I'm just following the directions to file this bug from the error message.
