I've tried to get documentoin for Tcl/tk, put 'doc' into the package.use for these files and re-emerged tcl and tk (BTW: no docs for these packages came up). emerge told me, that there is a new version of portage available and that it is HIGHLY recommended to upgrade portage. I did so and 87 packages where upgraded, amongst this glibc to 2.4, what hurts me now because I planned to install Oracle, which requires glibc2.3. Seems x86 or ~x86 doesn't make much a difference. I reinstalled the system not so long ago with x86 fo this reason.
I remember the same problems a couple of times in the past. /etc/fstab was "upgraded" to the initial one (the one with /dev/BOOT and dev/ROOT inside resulting in a not booting system), networking stopped working letting me on my own, stopping hotplug (and historical coldplug-nonsense) functionality, udev.rules where replaced by some initial one for a syntax change in udev (using ``sed'' would be a better choice here) ... Just a minor thing, before I realized the USB problem, I was working on 'localhost:unknown-domain' after the "upgrade". I'm really sick of solving the same problems again and again. Seems Gentoo is a system for students not needing their comps to be working. For me it looks at this point like: "Every other distribution is a better choice for somebody who needs his machine for work". I don't like to say that, but this is my expirience. :(((((((((((((( Regards Frank PS: X-cuse me top-posting. This is a really exportant issue, and I'm disturbing it. ;-( PS 2: Co work with LFS! They have the same target (get people to know the functionality of Linux). I'll install some working distro which is conform with other POSIX compliant systems ... with a tear in my eye. :(((((((((((( On Wed, 2006-09-27 at 18:31 +0100, Neil Bothwick wrote: > On Wed, 27 Sep 2006 18:48:20 +0200, sdoma wrote: > > > I'm running 2.6.17.6. > > It worked before the upgrade > > Which upgrade? emerge -u world could update one package or a hundred. > Which packages were upgraded? > > Please don't top-post. > > -- [email protected] mailing list
