[gentoo-alt] What happened?

[Askar Bektassov]

Folks,

After the last eix-sync, and emerge world -uDNpv (I think gcc has been rebuilt) my whole prefix broke, or at least seems so.

All packages installed now are either masked or unknown.

askarbektassov@Askars-MBP ~ $ eix -cI
[?] acct-group/man (0-r1@10/27/22 -> ??): System group: man

[?] app-arch/rpm2targz (2021.03.16@10/05/22 -> ??): Convert a .rpm file to a .tar.gz archive

And the list goes on… the first thing I noticed, is that git was not connecting and man stopped working…

askarbektassov@Askars-MBP ~/Documents/Books/SDS/github/A5kar.github.io (main) $ man git
man: command exited with status 134: (cd /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/share/man && /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/libexec/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/share/man && /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/libexec/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/share/man && preconv -e UTF-8) | (cd /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/share/man && tbl) | (cd /Users/askarbektassov/Gentoo/usr/share/man && nroff -mandoc -c -rLL=157n -rLT=157n -Tutf8)

But then, even eix did not work, until I’ve added it to accept_keywords list and recompiled it (I guess it lost some dylib links, with the gcc recompile).

But for the rest… what happened?

Thanks,
