[gentoo-dev] emerge system (round 2)

[gentoo-dev] emerge system (round 2)

[Jason]

Me again :)

I tried the emerge again without altering the system packages and I think
that the problem may reside in the bootstrap.

Right before I ran the "scripts/bootstrap.sh
files/bootstrap-1.0_rc6.packages" I ran "emerge --pretend system" and it
calculated the dependancies and output all the files it should have...no
problems.  After the bootstrap process, I ran "emerge --pretend system" and
the error I recieved goes basically as follows:

                "/var/db/pkg/sys-apps/texinfo is not a valid database
entry....skipping file"

It then outputs everything else as normal.  I should have been a little more
observant as I thought it might be a cvs problem with textinfo but it looks
to be like it is local.  Stupid question (Cuz I have no idea) Could I
actually emerge the system without bootstrapping it first?  If it is
feasable, I would like to give it a shot and see what happens.

I should probably get my ass on the mailing list too :)

Thanks again!

The bootstrapping process builds your full-fledged compiler, among other
critical components, so you have to do that.  I am not familiar with the
portage code, so maybe Daniel or someone else will comment on the
texinfo error.
