[gentoo-user] Problem while doing `emerge --emptytree system
Hi listers. I'm in the process of installing gentoo for the first time and am now in the process of going from stage 2 to stage 3. I am trying to do emerge --emptytree system It seems to be fine until it gets to installing openssl (14 of 186 apps to be installed). The process stops and says that perl 5 is required. This is understandable, but I thought emerge was supposed to be aware of this sort of thing and install apps in the correct order. I did a emerge --pretend --emptytree system |less and perl 5 is there, but further down the list of things to be installed (after openssl). What should I do -- install perl separately? Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. -- Let music echo the thoughts of your soul. -- Jason Castonguay [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Moon is Waxing Crescent (2% of Full) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here is what I did: - When emerge stopped at openssl I continued with emerge --resume --skipfirst. - Perl was merged cleanly without openssl. - Then sometime later emerge stopped because of the missing openssl, I think it was wget that failed. - At this point I merged openssl directly with ebuild merge. - Then the emerge finished cleanly after anotheder emerge --resume. I hope I did not miss anything, but I think this was the way it worked for me. -- Andreas signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
