Hi, I'm building a system using a 2006.0 minimal install disk and following the (current) installation docs. I got to the part where it is suggested I upgrade portage. However, there is a blocker:
(chroot) livecd / # emerge -p --oneshot portage These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2 [1.2.17] [ebuild U ] dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6 [2.0.1-r5] [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.4 [2.1.2.2] *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, then resume the merge. [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.1_p17] USE="-plugins%" [blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 (is blocking app-shells/bash-3.2_p33) (chroot) livecd / # emerge -pC portage >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: !!! 'sys-apps/portage' is part of your system profile. !!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system. sys-apps/portage selected: 2.1.2.2 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. I looked on the bugzilla but this "bug" is maked invalid. Could someone please suggest a next step? Thanks, Roger -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
