sed - 300 Multiple Choices

sed gives same error as binutils and util-linux.

These won't emerge for me:

[ebuild U ] sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.16 [2.13.90.0.4-r0]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.11y [2.11u-r0]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/sed-4.0.5 [4.0.1-r0]

I emerged sed 4.0.5 last night without problems... are you still unable to emerge it?

Is the error for sed, or leftover from binutils and util-linux: 300 Multiple Choices?

Could you post all of the output from the failed emerge if it isn't too long?

I had not emerged world for a while. When doing it, the emerge - u world stopped at binutils (300 Choices), so I emerged all packages listed by emerge -up world one by one (this is after the gcc fix by seemant: http://cvs.gentoo.org/~seemant/ THANKS!). Everything went allright I think (like sylpheed).

Then sed showed up when emerge -up world, but unfortunatelly it behaved exactly as binutils and util-linux before. The output is like this (still):

after a emerge rsync, this is fresh feedback from
#emerge -u sed

What version of portage are you running? (emerge -V)

bash-2.05a# emerge -V
Portage 2.0.46-r2 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r2)

Thanks for feedback!

(btw I _did_ search for 300 Multiple Choices, but unfortunatelly I only found my own posts ;-)

What happens if you remove sed-4.0.5.tar.gz from /usr/portage/distfiles, then do

I'm not that familiar with wget so when it didn't succed due to the wrong port I downloaded the file with mozilla instead :-)

And right now
#emerge -u sed
seems to compile properely.

Thank you very much!

Where do I find the other files (binutils and util-linux) so I can fix them by the same method?

Again, thanks :-)

That particular one I found just by looking at the ebuild. It was in the URI for the ebuild I have. If you have to do that for alot of packages, then there's probably a bigger problem. You shouldn't have to do it for any really.

Well, I guess Santa was in the portage tree somewhere and fixed my problems.

Now I do

#emerge -u world

and everything is fine, no hickups, no errors, no sorrows.

Thanks!!!

Time to get the dvd and the cd-burner running! See you in other forums ;-)
