Hi all,
I had a system crash this weekend, about 12 hours after getting the 2.6.8
kernel working on my alpha. (unrelated problem).
I've restored the system to a backup from about 10 days ago but it now seems
my portage database is problematic and the typical emerge commands are
failing.
e.g.:
emerge sync seems to work okay
I've successfully run fixpackages.
emerge -uv world
fails after extracting the package with no errors (but doesn't go and
compile it).
I'm guessing that between the time I did the backup and restored it an
upgrade or other emerge had changed the portage tree.
However I am unable to forcefully rebuild the portage set or the gentoolkit.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian Parkhurst
