Some folks on this list will not like the advise I give; caveat emptor 
my friend.

So, I install and give away many old system so folks can first learn 
about gentoo, with a working baseline.  my latest one, is for a savant 
EE, that just hates W. I have not seen him for a very long time. He 
asked for one, and I could not say no.  Gentoo is all I recommend
as I've pretty much tried many other linux distros; most give me 
heartburn for a myriad of reasons.

I also install and re-install, as many of the gentoo systems get 
"attacked" before I can  complete a secure install, or the hackers just 
read much more than I do.
I guess I'm still popular, in very negative way.

SO, I'm always looking for a quick and easy gentoo install 
method/medium. CloverOS  (cloveros.ga) use to work well. Then quite a 
few releases (through the decemeber 2019) failed in one way or another. 
I have not tried the latest release, so I'm about to give it a spin, 
just for fun. I offer this, hoping that all have gone through a few 
installs, via the handbook, but putting together your own streamlined 
install system,
is a pita to figure-out and get reasonable stable.


I've been using gentoo since 2003. A quick, supported install is a 
pet-peeve for me; to each his own. I've burned up some HD and cpus, and 
ram trying to bring old gentoo installs up to date; although most made 
it fine, despite tons of hours.

I hope this helps you. Installing gentoo is a religious  experience, 
once you diverge from the handbook; ymmv.

Perhaps one day, I'll be able to afford a 7nm and tons of ram system, so 
the heavy compiling can be complete therein and moved to a target, just 
like most embedded systems installs are these days.

While installing gentoo from scratch, after doing a "emerge --sync", the
command:

eselect profile list

fails because it can't get any profiles, and I see that the 17.1 profile
is in a .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine.

 1. what do I have to do to get this going again?
 2. how did I end up in this situation?  Is this a known bug.  I simply
    followed the handbook.

I had a similar issue with the .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine
continually appearing, deleting it made no difference. In the end I
deleted the whole portage tree and resynced, then the problem
disappeared. This may or may not have a bearing on your profile issue,
but it's worth fixing first.

I just finished running "emerge --sync" again, based on something I saw
on the internet - it did the whole thing again, takes about 2 hours. 
Same result.  But I didn't delete "the whole portage tree".  What does
that mean?

rm -rf /var/db/repos?

or:

rm -rf /var/db/pkg?

And why should it work?  Is it not rather something broken in the
upstream repository?  Or the 20200108 minimum cd image I'm using? It's
otherwise a naked machine.

Two hours? How slow is your connection?

If you're using the new default location, I think it is
/var/db/repos/gentoo, but someone should confirm that.

No, that's the database of installed packages, don't mess with it.

No idea, but something went wrong on one sync and I was stuck with this
directory. Deleting it was no help, but deleting the whole tree fixed it.
It did slow down sync times, but not the the extent you have.

Assuming this is not the time it takes to run rsync (even on a dial-up 
analogue modem connection?) I would guess the delay is caused by the post-sync 
tree verification.  The .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine file is where the 
sync is stored until the signature verification is performed.  Even on a 
really old dual-core laptop with low RAM the sync and verification only takes 
around 20 minutes.

Yes, the new location for the portage ebuilds is:

You may need to remove the whole tree as Neil did, if the verification fails 
because of the portage tree contents.  Theoretically a re-sync ought to fix 
this, because the .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine file would/should be 
initially overwritten and eventually deleted once the verification is 
complete, but as you reported it didn't do so.  :-/

This bug points to the tree owned by root:root instead of portage:portage, 
interestingly in my most recent installation the tree is owned by root as you 
can see above and I'm not getting this problem.

Hmmm.  Is that "attacked" to be interpreted in some sort of metaphorical
way or do you mean really hacked over the internet? May I ask how, and
how do you know?  What's involved in a secure install?

I just noticed that there's a new stag3, from 2020/01/12 instead of
2020/01/08 so - since this is a fresh install - I'm just going to start
from there.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here ... did you do a chown -R or
will the ownership be different when my new stage3 is finally downloaded?

I'm not keen on overriding the default configuration in a global way 
like changing the ownwhip of all files.

The stage3 doesn't include the portage tree, so that is unlikely to make
a difference. Remove the portage tree and either download a snapshot or
resync it.

I'm on DSL, fairly slow DSL but DSL is what they call it, and had a long
re-sync time until a month or so ago.  It started around the time the
verification part started so I assumed it was that.  Then it kept
getting slower and slower.  After a while, I decided to try something
else.  I found a different server to sync too.  The first one was a
little better but still slow.  I tried another one and hit the jackpot. 
It was several times faster than the original one. 

This may not be your problem but it may be worth looking into.  You can
use mirrorselect to help you find a good server.  Try a few and see what
changes.  For me at least, it pretty much maxes out my DSL.  Obviously
there is some things that take a while that is done on my end but if the
download is slow due to a slow server, maybe you can find a faster one.

I might add, I've always tried to get servers that are physically close
by because they *should* be faster.  I've found that not to be true in
every case. 

As I said, this may not be your problem but it may be worth looking into
at least.  Just in case.

The portage tree is sync'ed to the portage tree mirrors.  A newer fs snapshot 
won't include the tree itself, but it will include the new default fs 
locations for the portage directory.

I do not recall running a chown on this installation.  Had I done this, in all 
likelihood I would have chown'ed it to portage:portage, as older installations 
of mine are set to.

Right, I haven't changed them on this installation either and emerge FEATURES 
include

'... userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync'.

With 'userpriv' portage is meant to drop privileges to the owner of the gentoo 
repo directory, but if the directory is owned by root to start with I am not 
clear how userpriv is meant to work.  I take it your gentoo portage tree is 
also owned by root:root in its default installation state?

Not sure what you mean ... you mean that the portage tree only comes in
with the emerge --sync?

A preliminary copy isn't in the stage3 tarball?

Oh, I see you're right - I unpacked it though by cut&paste of the
command in the handbook (with -p, I'm sure).

Anyway, I  used a different sync and timed it more carefully: 1 1/4
hours for the --sync.  Completely from scatch.  Completely - only
lost+found and the tarball in the partition.  Using the stage3 that's 4
days newer.  I get the same result.

The minimal CD hasn't changed since the 8th.  Presumably lots of people
have used it since then ...

According to the make.conf man page, userpriv will

"Allow portage to drop root privileges and compile packages as
portage:portage without a sandbox"

According to my emerge --info output I have sandbox, usersandbox and userpriv, 
all set.  The owner of my portage directory and all files therein is 
root:root.  Should the ownership be portage:portage?  What is the default?

I haven't performed a full portage sync for a while now to confirm how long it 
takes here, but a re-sync over a slow ADSL takes ~20 minutes on a dual core 
ancient Intel, much less on my more modern PCs.  More than 80% of this time is 
spent on verifying the signatures of the downloaded tmp sync file.  I would 
think on a modern AMD Ryzen PC like the OP's it should take a fraction of the 
time.

As it happens, I switched a machine from rsync to git syncing last night,
so started with a new tree. Everything is root:root. That implies that
portage does not drop permissions for the sync, otherwise it wouldn't be
able to write to the tree. And ps confirms that with an rsync sync, rsync
is running as root.

It happens because the stage 3 doesn't contain a tree. The handbook tells
you to run a sync after unpacking the stage 3 for that reason. webrsync
is just another way of syncing, one that is more efficient than rsync
when starting with an empty tree.

Thanks Neil, this this leaves me mildly confused as to what the gentoo-default 
ownership of portage tree is/should be.  Until I hear differently I'll leave 
my old installations as portage:portage and the latest as root:root.

I mean, am I getting these manifest/verification errors because I
haven't used webrsync (apparently not).

Which leaves me in a deadlocked situation.  A fresh install, according
to the instructions, on new hardware, fails.  What should I do?  Does
anyone else have this problem?

It sounds to me like the repository is broken - having ownership as root
seems to be slightly more entropy than portage and could have happened
as a unintended consequence of some uncarefully completed operation.

Is this the proper list to be on?

If the repository was broken, it would be affecting a lot more people
than just you.

Have you tried completely removing your portage tree and reinstating it
with webrsync?

It's the Gentoo User list, which seems to fit.

This is a fresh install from a minimal cd image.  I'm starting out with
mkfs.  I've tried that 3 times, twice using a stage 3 from 2020/01/08
and once using a stage 3 from 2020/01/12.

Thus, in answer to your question, yes, I've always removed the portage
tree (and everything else).

I've always used emerge --sync rather than webrsync because I always
like to use the smallest hammer possible.  But if you say I should use
webrsync rather than emerge --sync, I have no other hint.

It's certainly worth trying webrsync, if anything else, it's faster for a
full tree.

I prefer to use the largest hammer and let the tool do the work for me ;-)

Er...you aren't running out of disk space, are you (either physical space or 
inodes)? Don't forget /tmp and /var/tmp. And what result did 'emerge --sync' 
return? Specifically, did you see a 'Sync completed' message? Have you watched 
/usr/bin/top status lines while syncing?

And have you actually tried emerge-webrsync?

With emerge-webrsync do you mean webrsync or is there some additional

The df command will give you that info.  This is a example just replace
your device with the one I used.

df -i /dev/sdb1

I didn't see a manifest error before; perhaps I overlooked it.

I've never seen a speedup less than 1 before.

That would indeed leave the tree safely in quarantine.

I'd want to see how much memory and swap were consumed and available; the
processor load may offer you a clue too.

According to the Wiki* the first thing you do after chrooting into the new
system is to issue the command 'emerge-webrsync'. I suggest you try it.

I guess you're referring to this:

"The use of emerge-webrsync is recommended for those who are behind restrictive firewalls (because it uses HTTP/FTP protocols for downloading the snapshot) and saves network bandwidth. Readers who have no network or bandwidth restrictions can happily skip down to the next section."

Indeed that was a sub-theme of my question (although I oversaw that "emerge-" was indeed part of the command): could that have an impact on my problem?  I'm not behind a firewall and have no bandwidth restrictions (DSL).  It's a bad state when you start having to do things which are nominally not relevant, because you don't have anything else to lose (but time).  That's called "grasping at straws"

This sounds like it could be a network problem. Have you used

I wondered if the file was truncated from some sort of network problem,
until I checked my tree and saw that that file was 48349 bytes and
portage was really happy.

I would definitely try emerge-webrsync as it downloads a consistent
snapshot of the system. You say you have no network or bandwidth
restrictions, but 56K/s says otherwise.

Why don't you just try it? What could you lose?

Monitor your connection, with a system setup that the ethernet does not 
responds to any sort of request. The system just collects and log. NO, 
I'm not documenting how to do this, but various ways exist, documented 
on the internet to make *most* ethernet interface to where they are 
*one-direction* only. HOW you achieve this? There are a myriad of ways.

Good Hunting and *never* tell anyone how *you* do this....

If you're handy with an ethernet crimping tool, just cut the TX wires
and put the interface into promiscuous mode ...

Just be aware that - routers especially - can swap TX and RX so they
could possibly get round that.
