 |
|
Pardon the newbie question, but it appears my /bin/mktemp is corrupted. I get errors similar to this emerging several packages. Quake3 is just the latest victim...
# emerge quake3
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-games/quake3-1.32b to /
>>> md5 src_uri  linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run
* Adding group 'games' to your system ...
/bin/mktemp: line 1: Utilities for CVS administration.: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 3: import: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 4: import: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 5: import: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 6: import: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 7: import: command not found
/bin/mktemp: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/mktemp: line 9: `if not hasattr(time, 'timezone'):'

Try `touch --help' for more information.
* - Groupid: 35
groupadd: group games exists
!!! ERROR: app-games/quake3-1.32b failed.
!!! Function enewgroup, Line 628, Exitcode 9
!!! enewgroup failed
A quick glance over my /bin/mktemp file tells me it has been hammered by something. What package should I re-emerge to get it fixed? Is there some kind of emerge --verify or emerge --force that I should do to make sure mktemp gets fixed? |

| Code: | $ qpkg -i -f /bin/mktemp

If you don't have qpkg on your system, you can get it by emerging app-admin/gentoolkit. I keep on finding great uses for it. Just last week I wanted to see which games I had emerged from portage: | Code: | $ qpkg -I app-games
app-games/abuse_sdl *
app-games/chromium *
app-games/crack-attack *
app-games/eboard *
app-games/enigma *
app-games/fortune-mod *
app-games/fortune-mod-bofh-excuses *
app-games/fortune-mod-hitchhiker *
app-games/frozen-bubble *
app-games/gnuchess *
app-games/kobodeluxe *
app-games/nethack *
app-games/racer-bin *
app-games/tuxracer *
app-games/xgalaga *

Okay, I thought it was awesome, but your mileage may vary. 
For those who are used to rpm-style queries, there's also sys-apps/epm. I found that epm -qf /bin/mktemp works to identify the owning package, but epm -qif /bin/mktemp is more verbose than I like in order to just find out which version of the package is installed.
Good luck with your problem!
