Something went seriously wrong here: lots of patches are missing from the |
| 36 |
overlay. Bootstrapping with LATEST_TREE_YES=1 fails when building sed due to |
| 37 |
a missing sed-4.1.4-makeinfo-c-locale.patch, and bash runs into the same |
| 38 |
problem. |

I already fixed missing patches in sys-libs/readline, but found out |
| 41 |
immediately afterwards that the problem is more widespread. I don't know how |
| 42 |
widespread exactly, but you probably want to have a look at what exactly went |
| 43 |
wrong in the import process. |
