It's a little Atom box so I keep a 32-bit chroot on this machine (the one I'm writing this on), nfs-mount the server's packages directory in the chroot and do all the heavy emerge work on the i5 here. The contents of /etc/portage/* are identical in both systems, with minor exceptions detailing --jobs= and the proxies (the server serves the portage tree and is the rsync host, and it can't do that for itself until http- replicator etc. are in place). I got as far as installing a recent stage 3 and adding nfs-utils so that I could export the package directory. Then I ran emerge -eavK world (I'd already rebuilt all the packages in the chroot before zapping the server). You'll never guess what happened. Well, actually, I hope someone can because I'm stumped again. $ OPTIONS="backtrack=100" emerge -pvKe world ... !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-arch/bzip2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6-r3::gentoo (masked by: backtracking: slot conflict) Bzip2 installs happily if specified by itself. Portage is at version 2.2.7, and I did remember to set the active python version to 2.7 before starting all this. Now that I think of it, this slot conflict over bzip2 was among the reasons I decided to zap the server and start anew. The cure hasn't fixed the ailment. Has anyone any ideas? -- Regards Peter
