23 Hi all,
24
25 I had a system crash this weekend, about 12 hours after getting the
26 2.6.8
27 kernel working on my alpha. (unrelated problem).
28
29 I've restored the system to a backup from about 10 days ago but it
30 now seems
31 my portage database is problematic and the typical emerge commands
32 are
33 failing.
34
35 e.g.:
36
37 emerge sync seems to work okay
38 I've successfully run fixpackages.
39
40 emerge -uv world
41 fails after extracting the package with no errors (but doesn't go and
42 compile it).
43
44 I'm guessing that between the time I did the backup and restored it
45 an
46 upgrade or other emerge had changed the portage tree.
47 However I am unable to forcefully rebuild the portage set or the
48 gentoolkit.
49
50 Any ideas?
51
52 Thanks,
53
