Re: [gentoo-user] Lost my coreutils
Hi again! I've now compiled 3 new binary packages for you: http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.2.1-r7.tbz2 http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.93.tbz2 Whichever you want to use. If they don't work, I've also compiled a statically linked package: http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.93-static.tbz2 (12,5 MB!!) ACL support should now be disabled in all packages (USE=-* nls and configure-output showed that it was disabled). I don't know whether you should extract the package from your gentoo or from a live-cd, but don't forget to set the -p flag for extracting with tar or you might end up having an unaccassible version just because of wrong permissions. martin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Rumen Yes, that installed like a dream. I then emerged 5.93 immediately so that it was officially in my tree. Phew, back to work. Also appreciated the Busybox 1.1.0 which I saw on your URL and downloaded as a backup - especially after Benno Shulenberg's heads-up. Great info. Thanks also to Martin Ullrich who I just see (time differences) has posted a selection of binaries with different use flags. Hope this thread proves useful for someone else some day.

Can anyone help? Please!

I would boot with install cd and extract latest stage3 or try to extract only
missing files. then chroot, emerge --sync, emerge coreutils and emerge
--update
dont know is this best solution, at least i did it some time ago when after
update system was broke.
