This time, when updating @world I decided to not merge anything. I got up to: Next, reconfigure the [365]sys-libs/timezone-data package, which will update the /etc/localtime file for us, based on the /etc/timezone entry. The /etc/localtime file is used by the system C library to know the timezone the system is in. root #emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
And that command produced: !'sys/libs/timezone-data ' is not a valid package atom. ! please check ebuild (5) for full details. ! did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?) Probably an instruction may be missing from the handbook with that = character in it. Before this failed command I did: echo 'America/New_york' >/etc/timezone. I'm using the printable version of the handbook if that makes a difference. --
