Hi,
I took a look at the bootstrap.sh script and found that in stage 5/6
emerge is called with option -e (=--emptytree) which will of course
cause emerge to install those packages which will normally be installed
with "emerge system". This is because we are starting from a stage1
install which has a "broken"/incomplete /var/db/pkg database.

Hi,
today I started a gentoo installation and it happened once again that
"scripts/bootstrap" tried to install all those packages that would
normally be installed with "emerge system" ("scripts/bootstrap" showed
about 80 packages in stage 5/6 when running with --pretend). In
previous installation attempts this behaviour changed after executing
"emerge sync" a day later.
Is there something wrong with the bootstrap script or the portage tree?

Hi,
it's me again! I just looked in the "bootstrap.sh" script and found no
"emerge system". Also all variables seems to have the right values. So
far as I can tell it seems to be a problem with portage.

Do you have java in your use flags? I have found using -java or adding
"sys-libs/db -java" to /etc/portage/package.use helps.
Yes, I have. I have decided not to stop the merge. When it's ready I will
check what an "emerge system" would do now. If it will do nothing I think
the "emerge system" has worked fine. I will mail again.
Cool. If the bootstrap dies with a circular perl dependancy, this can
fix that too.

Hi,
"bootstrapping" finished. An "emerge system" would merge 29 packages. This
means that "bootstrap.sh" didn't do an "emerge system" but fullfills only
dependencies. Maybe it will work with "-java" use flag but there could be
more use flags with the same effect. Since all merges without errors I
believe that the system will be ok. Nevertheless one can't control and change
what will be installed with a "emerge -pv system" any more. What do you
think?
