Description Jean Bréfort 2005-06-12 22:41:44 UTC

I emerged binutils-2.16.1 (with emerge -Du world) and all binutils programs where removed from my system, so that I cannot compile anything anymore (which is a huge problem for a developer). Seems the programs are installed now in /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16/ but no links are available.

emerge --info gives:

Comment 1 Jean Bréfort 2005-06-12 22:44:56 UTC

I was wrong, the executables still exist, but links point to the 2.16 directory
instead of 2.16.1

Comment 2 Martin Capitanio 2005-06-12 23:19:32 UTC

a perfekt shot in the heart of gentoo, congratulation ;-)

First aid:
binutils-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1

Comment 3 Thomas Beinicke 2005-06-13 00:05:00 UTC

Thanks for the quick help here. 
Though I agree that even in the unstable tree this shouldn't happen.

Comment 4 Glenn L. McGrath 2005-06-13 01:35:32 UTC

Quick fix for me was just to symlink the directory.

ln -s /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16
