 |
|
So apparently I failed to follow instructions and now I can't emerge anything. I changed my profile to default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma/systemd/merged-usr at the prompting of emerge. But apparently, I was supposed to run merge-usr first. But I can't run it now because I don't have merge-usr and I can't get it because I can't emerge anything. I always get "/usr/bin/env: ‘bash’: No such file or directory" How do I escape this dependency loop? Changing the profile back doesn't seem to help.

Changing the profile alone cannot do much, did you do anything else? Like restart?
Maybe you need to update environment with
| Code: | | source /etc/profile |
if you expect any changes to take place into the current login session.

A reboot occurred after the original profile change. After changing the profile back, I tried sourcing /etc/profile and rebooting. Neither resolved the problem.
It actually looks like the path changes associated with the new profile are sticky. After the reboot with the old profile, /bin and /sbin were not in the path. I suspect the solution is to manually restore the old paths. I just need to figure out what those are. |

ese002,
For a user
| Code: | $ $PATH
bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/lib/llvm/18/bin:/usr/lib/llvm/17/bin:/usr/lib64/subversion/bin:/usr/lib64/opencascade/bin:/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise/scripts:/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise/scripts: No such file or directory |
and root
| Code: | # $PATH
-bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/lib/llvm/18/bin:/usr/lib/llvm/17/bin:/usr/lib64/subversion/bin:/usr/lib64/opencascade/bin: No such file or directory |
The No such file or directory is expected.
That's /no-multilib/

With the path probably restored, I don't get the bash error but emerge still fails. This time with no message indicating what the problem is.
| Code: | crab /home/eric # emerge -v merge-usr
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Other targets still get the bash error though.
Ths is with profile of default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma/systemd/merged-usr after sourcing /etc/profile

| I am running into the exact same issue. I will post if I figure out the solution, and follow in case you find it first. |

I coped /bin/bash to /usr/bin/bash and then reran "emerge merge-usr"
From there on forward, I worked through successive failures that actually reported which commands were not found. I copied or linked those into /usr/bin and re-ran emerge. Finally, the errors ceased and merge-usr merged successfully. I was then able to run merge-usr to complete the transition and now I can emerge anything. |

Thank you, that worked for me too. I symlinked each from /usr/bin/bash to /usr/bin, emerged, then removed the symlinks.
For the record this is the set of commands I needed to symlink.
| Code: | /usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mkdir
/usr/bin/rm
/usr/bin/cat
/usr/bin/chmod
/usr/bin/chgrp
/usr/bin/cp
/usr/bin/ln
/usr/bin/sed
/usr/bin/gzip
/usr/bin/tar
/usr/bin/bzip2
/usr/bin/grep
/usr/bin/mv |
