I have a theory in regards to these paticular error messages. But I'm unsure if my theory is correct or not.
I did a stage 3 GRP initial install. I used the 2nd CD to install KDE,Gaim,PPP ect..ect... Please correct my way of thinking here but arent the pkgs that come on the 2nd CD already precompiled. So they are in binary format ready to go versus downloading the source and compiling it? After the intial install of KDE and others off the CD, I got internet access and first updated my system via "emerge sync" then "emerge -u system" then "emerge -uDf world". There was a list of about 25 files downloaded. It seems that towards the end of each compilation for each file I get the same type of (what I believe to be) a "False Negative" error message. Example: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1174: /var/tmp/portage-pkg/genkernel-1.5/inf/genkernel-1.5.ebuild: No such file or directory !!! ERROR: genkernel-1.5/genkernel-1.5 failed. !!! Function , Line 1174, Exitcode 1 !!! error sourcing ebuild Now the real interesting thing is that the errors seem to be consistent in 2 ways. 1> No matter which pkg I get the error on, the next line is exactly the same "!!! Function , Line 1174, Exitcode 1" 2> If I look in /var/log/emerge.log all the pkgs where merged just fine. But the pkgs that emerge is complaining about are actually the binary packages that were installed off the CD. So if this is correct then I would assume that emerge doesn't have a way to tell if the same pkg its looking for was installed precompiled in binary format versuse being downloaded and then compiled from source.. Just a theory. But it seems like a good one so far. Anyone else having these same errors as possibly doing a stage3 GRP install. But if you do a "qpkg -I" the packages were upgraded and merged successfully? Thanks, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
