Subject: [gentoo-user] portage install complains about missing "netlink" module
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2020 02:25:57
Message-Id: 20200418022514.GA15345@waltdnes.org
1 Setting up to do my monthly update <G>. There was an update to
2 portage, so I ran it. The final stage (install) complained about a
3 missing (python?) module named "netlink". Is this a serious problem?

8 * Setting make.globals default DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" for backward compatibility
9 * Setting repos.conf default location = /usr/portage for backward compatibility
