[gentoo-user] re: install problems

[Jude DaShiell]

This time, when updating @world I decided to not merge anything.
I got up to:
Next, reconfigure the [365]sys-libs/timezone-data package, which will
update the /etc/localtime file for us, based on the /etc/timezone entry.
The /etc/localtime file is used by the system C
   library to know the timezone the system is in.
   root #emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data

And that command produced:
!'sys/libs/timezone-data '  is not a valid package atom.
! please check ebuild (5) for full details.
! did you specify a version but forget to prefix with  '='?)

Probably an instruction may be missing from the handbook with that =
character in it.  Before this failed command I did:
echo 'America/New_york' >/etc/timezone.

I'm using the printable version of the handbook if that makes a
difference.
