[gentoo-user] bash: genfun_has_readline

[gentoo-user] bash: genfun_has_readline

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I'm seeing this every time I chroot into my rescue system:

# chroot /mnt/rescue /bin/bash
bash: genfun_has_readline: command not found

Google results suggest that the genfun is defined in the new version of bashrc, 
but it isn't on any of my systems, even one ~amd64.

The same thing happened when I started a new build from stage-3, when I 
chrooted into the nascent system.

Clues, anyone?

Peter.

Thanks, but it doesn't help. What it says doesn't apply here.

I was mistaken about that latter; it's more complicated than I thought.

The problem seems to have been that I was running the new installation by 
hosting a chroot on an already running Gentoo system. I still have no idea 
what's wrong with doing that, but I get all sorts of dramatic failures in 
emerging.

I've now run a successful installation from a SysRescCD, so I'm left with yet 
more head-scratching.

Sorry about the noise.
