I was updating perl and I ended up with losing portage. |
| 2 |
During perl emerge I got this message: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
# Previous version is older than the current db breaking one. |
| 5 |
Portage has merged successfully. You must restart your merge manually |
| 6 |
if this is not the last package... |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Now I have part of the new portage in /var/tmp and a not functioning |
| 9 |
part of portage spreaded in my dirs. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
emerge is gone, most of the bins are gone |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I found this on a Gentoo mirror: |
| 14 |
portage-20021217.tar.bz2 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
what should I do to have a working portage system again? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
This is the second time I run into this problem but what was left in |
| 19 |
the /var/tmp last time gave me enough clues to finish manually the |
| 20 |
installation of portage bins and scripts... but it wasn't pleasant to |
| 21 |
do it manually. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
What should be the shortest path to rebuild portage system without |
| 24 |
making use of portage (since it is gone...)? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
TIA |
