Boot off a LiveCD somehow. Use one that has a fairly recent coreutils on it, and merge the coreutils pkg onto your actual system on disk. You will have to mount your disk-based system somewhere convenient and tell portage off the LiveCD to use that as the ROOT system to merge to. Next time portage tells you that unmerging something in system is a very very very bad idea, you should take it seriously. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re-emerging the package after booting into the fixed system will cure that. In fact, you should emerge coreutils again anyway as the one for the CD will be built with the wrong USE and CFLAGS.

On my AMD64, coreutils-6.10-r1.tbz2 is only 1.4MB -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Tested :-( : Get 2008.0.beta1 Cd (K3B ftp work on such a crippled system). Boot on it. Mount system's / and /usr partitions and cp from CD's /bin and /usr/bin to their equivalent on mounted partitions the following missig cmd: basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cp, cut, date, dd, df, dirname, du, echo, env, expr, false, groups, head, hostname, kill, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, pwd, rm, rmdir, seq, sleep, sort, stat, stty, su, sync, tail, tr, true, wc, yes on /mnt/gentoo/bin. cksum, comm, csplit, dirclors, expand, factor, fmt, fold, fs, hostid, id, install, join, link, logname, md5sum, nice, nl, nohup, od, pasteshred, shuf, split, sum, tac, tee, test, tsort, uniq, unlink, uptime, users, whoami, who on /mnt/.../usr/bin Once done, reboot on the original system and you're back on business! first thing to do : emerge coreutils This process at least worked for me on my amd64 system. PS: 1- the list of cmd show why unmerging coreutils makes a mess 2- I'm not sure all above cmds are needed to emerge and compile. But I considered faster to copy them all than iterating the boot-on-CD boot-on-system process. Have a great time! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
