Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I had a system crash this weekend, about 12 hours after getting the 2.6.8 |
4 |
kernel working on my alpha. (unrelated problem). |
5 |
|
6 |
I've restored the system to a backup from about 10 days ago but it now seems |
7 |
my portage database is problematic and the typical emerge commands are |
8 |
failing. |
9 |
|
10 |
e.g.: |
11 |
|
12 |
emerge sync seems to work okay |
13 |
I've successfully run fixpackages. |
14 |
|
15 |
emerge -uv world |
16 |
fails after extracting the package with no errors (but doesn't go and |
17 |
compile it). |
18 |
|
19 |
I'm guessing that between the time I did the backup and restored it an |
20 |
upgrade or other emerge had changed the portage tree. |
21 |
However I am unable to forcefully rebuild the portage set or the gentoolkit. |
22 |
|
23 |
Any ideas? |

Thanks, |
