Anyway after some sleep, I woke up Horace (my ASUS EEE netbook) with the idea of copying the Portage snapshot + Stage 3 into it while finishing waking up. I have a big partition in all my machines which I mount as /z & which I treat as an empty hangar for heavy lifting (eg /z/tmp is what Portage uses while compiling: OO needs 5 GB here). In Horace, it's 60 GB . So that's where I'll copy the new stuff to partly re-install Gentoo. Let's see what's there: 'cd /z ; bb ls' -> '... store3 store5 ...'; so what are those stores ? -- 'cd store3 ; bb ls' -> '... bin lib sbin ...'; hmm, must be from when I installed last November, mb I should remove it; wait a min, "... lib ...": 'cd lib ; bb ls -l liba*' -> '... libacl.so.1 ...'. so do miracles still happen, really ? -- let's copy the 'acl attr' stuff back into /usr/lib & see what happens; 'emerge -pv coreutils' -> '... -acl [green] ... ' -- yes, it's not in the list in my make.conf , but was used for some unknown reason in the Gentoo tarball -- ; 'emerge coreutils' -> goes on & on & on testing configs, it's compiling ! it's installing ! it's Supergentoo ! -- 'ls' alone now works again, ok ! So it was a nasty little trap waiting to happen, a very rare occasion to fault the devs for using 'acl' in the tarball. What it shows, yet again, is the value of keeping copies of everything, & finally, that with Linux & esp Gentoo problems are 1 layer deep: identify what is wrong & it's fairly simple to put it right & you may even find luck is on your side some of the time, as here. HTH others. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
