[gentoo-user] Accidentally deleted contents of /sbin
List Members - I was trying to delete some files from my /sbin directory and with an unfortunate use of a wildcard accidentally deleted the entire contents on the /sbin directory. I have recovered the contents of the /sbin directory from a stage 3 tarball. I was thinking about doing an emerge world, just to make sure that everything is consistent. Do you all think that this is necessary? Thanks, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Accidentally deleted contents of /sbin
Oh, it's not really usefull to rebuild all just rebuild this: equery b /sbin so. .. it will give you all package which install something in /sbin just rebuild it Le Thu, 16 Nov 2006 17:23:17 +0100, James Colby [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit: List Members - I was trying to delete some files from my /sbin directory and with an unfortunate use of a wildcard accidentally deleted the entire contents on the /sbin directory.

I suppose that remerging packages that install anything in /sbin would be in
order:
# cd /var/db/pkg emerge -va1 $(for pkg in */*; do
cut -d' ' -f2 ${pkg}/CONTENTS | grep -q '^/sbin/' echo =${pkg}
done)

Do you all think that this is necessary? Yes, I think an emerge --deep --emptytree world would be in order. If you had a recent backup of your system-- new enough that no new packages had been emerged since the backup was taken-- then restoring the backup would be the easiest option. In this case, though, it seems like a reasonable tradeoff to wait for all your packages to recompile in order to be more confident that your system won't blow up on you.

It'd be much easier to re-emerge only the packages that had placed files into /sbin . Thanks, Geistteufel and Bo Andresen for reminding me of this! Joe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks for the advice everybody. I ran this command and it just
finished successfully. I had one file in /etc that needed updating,
and when I tried to run etc-update it was missing. Should I try to
emerge world?
Thanks,
James

May want to emerge portage. That is where that command comes from.

If it were me, I would still do a emerge -e world, just to be sure.

You can check all packages for missing or corrupt files with
equery -C list kdebase | awk '/\// {print $((NF - 1))}' | sed 's;^;=;' | xargs
--max-lines=1 equery check

Do I need to add the --oneshot option to this to keep my world file clean Thanks, James From what I understand, it takes the packages listed in the world file and then pretends there is nothing emerged and builds a list. This will emerge everything in world plus their dependacies. It should not change your world file at all. I have done this several times when something goes weird on my system or upgrading gcc. You have a good plan to keep your world file clean though. Seems we are both learning to do that. O_O Basically, this rebuilds everything on your system from the ground up. That is why it takes so long. It's akin to rebuilding the whole house when you have a small leak in your roof. Of course, you have a new house this way. ;-) Also keep in mind emerge --resume and emerge --resume --skipfirst. The first is in case you have to stop to reboot or something. The second is in case something fails to emerge and you want to rebuild it later. Make a note of what packages fail and the error. You may need that info later. Hope that helps.
