 |
|
Hello everyone,
I have done a big mistake: rm -rf /usr/* instead of rm -rf /usr/portage/* Therefore I have lost a big part of it, including a lot of /usr/bin/* files like find, renice. Without I cannot do any emerge, revdep-rebuild. What do you think is the best way to restore a proper /etc/bin/ directory? Take the one from the live cd? And after, how can I make sure I got everything working, every dependancy installed? Any comment will help!
Thanks a lot

Full reinstallation of Gentoo would be the best.
You can preserve /home and partially /etc. |

Well, I had an other amd64 computer with almost the same packages, so copying from it seems to be working.
Is there a command so as to reemerge ALL the packages? emerge -av world only emerge the packages that changed.
Cheers

If you have Portage 2.2_rc1, then you can use `emerge -1 @everything`.
(With Portage >=2.2_rc2, that command should be replaced with `emerge -1 @installed`.) |
