Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to reinstall this system, but being blocked. I'm following the |
| 4 |
handbook installation instructions. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Untarring the latest stage-3 onto /mnt/gentoo, /mnt/gentoo/var and /mnt/ |
| 7 |
gentoo/usr/local gets me started. Then I chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash, and |
| 8 |
that works too. Then I leave the profile at the default vanilla amd64 and |
| 9 |
emerge-webrsync. So far so good. Then when I try emerge -uaDvN @world I get |
| 10 |
a circular dependency involving elt-patches and xz-utils. No amount of |
| 11 |
unsetting of USE flags makes any difference. Nor does --excluding one of them, |
| 12 |
because portage just refuses to do that. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The same happens with ~amd64 in make.conf, and with plasma profile. No |
| 15 |
systemd here. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Is there really a problem with the stage-3? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
More worrying is that my backup USB drive has just failed an fsck. Even more |
| 20 |
worrying still is the same happening to my backup backup! What are the |
| 21 |
chances? Murphy surely does rule... |
