[gentoo-amd64] from multilib to amd64

[Mansour Al Akeel]

Hello all,
I am stuck in the conversion from multilib. I have changed my profile
the emerged gcc glibc sandbox and baselayout then portage, while
booted and chroot to my gentoo installtion from the installation cd as
I was not able to boot.

Before I updated world I unmerged gnome and merged gnome-light. Then
"emerge --depclean" and did world update. The current results for
revdep-rebuild:

==============================================================================
livecd / # revdep-rebuild
 * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 525: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory

 * Checking reverse dependencies
 * Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update
 * will be emerged.

 * Collecting system binaries and libraries
 * Generated new 1_files.rr
 * Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 * Generated new 2_ldpath.rr
 * Checking dynamic linking consistency
[ 100% ]
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 666: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory

 * Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done.

==============================================================================
livecd / # emerge --depclean -p

*** WARNING ***  Depclean may break link level dependencies.  Thus, it is

*** WARNING ***  Also study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious

*** WARNING ***  As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages

Calculating dependencies... done!

Packages installed:   529

==========================================================================
Trying to emerge world or system give nothing:

livecd / # emerge  -p world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
=======================================
Now when I try to boot, I still get something like  error message:

gawk: fatal: can't open source file '/lib/rcscripts/awk/functions.awk'
for reading (No such file or directory)

At this point nothing started, not even network connections. I don't
know what I have missed. Did anyone got this before?
