It's consistent there, though, so I'm tempted to raise a bug report. -- Regards, Peter.

Okay, step by step. First I chose the basic make.profile, number 1, and installed my base system set - everything that doesn't need a GUI.

I'm afraid I've got out of the habit of checking the downloads. Anyway, I've fetched it again and checked it this time. -- Regards, Peter.

Possible, though it seems more likely that it was a bad repo that you synced. The problem would go away the next time you ran emerge --sync (whether on the same stage3 or with a new one). The stable repo is less likely to have this problem, but I don't think it is available via rsync. (At least, the last time I looked into it we weren't using the stable repo for rsync.) -- Rich

I think I must have had a bad stage tarball. At any rate, that problem doesn't occur now. Instead I get various ruby packages failing because they can't find the gems directory, or some other problem. There was once a news item about ruby-30, but I don't see it any more. At the time I added this: # cat /etc/portage/package.use/ruby dev-ruby/* ruby_targets_ruby30 virtual/rubygemsruby_targets_ruby30 virtual/ruby-sslruby_targets_ruby30 That worked nicely, but not on a new system. I've tried changing the 20 to 27 and I've tried removing the file, but neither helps. Eselecting ruby versions doesn't either. -- Regards, Peter.

[gentoo-user] Can't install a new system
Hello list, I'm trying to reinstall this system, but being blocked. I'm following the handbook installation instructions. Untarring the latest stage-3 onto /mnt/gentoo, /mnt/gentoo/var and /mnt/ gentoo/usr/local gets me started. Then I chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash, and that works too. Then I leave the profile at the default vanilla amd64 and emerge-webrsync. So far so good. Then when I try emerge -uaDvN @world I get a circular dependency involving elt-patches and xz-utils. No amount of unsetting of USE flags makes any difference. Nor does --excluding one of them, because portage just refuses to do that. The same happens with ~amd64 in make.conf, and with plasma profile. No systemd here. Is there really a problem with the stage-3? More worrying is that my backup USB drive has just failed an fsck. Even more worrying still is the same happening to my backup backup! What are the chances? Murphy surely does rule... -- Regards, Peter.
