 |
|
hi guys..
i really have a WEIRD situation here.. i had a 1.2 set up, worked real fine.. then we tried to move the system inside the partition layout, copied the files, but after that action the system was unable to boot up..
ok, we thought that we're smart and re-animated the machine with an stage3 bzip from _1.4_ ! so i expanded the tar.bz2, copied my old /etc and the machine booted fine... man was i happy! 
BUT: then i made an emerge sync, updated my portage tree..
the problem now is that everytime i merge something, portage wants to remove _all_outdated_packages (as normal), but the problem is that that are _all_ necessary base-packages..

DAMN! and it happened 3 times that i didn't see it, all the stuff got deleted.. i had nothing... no init, no mount, not even a shutdown bin.. all went away ;(..
so what can i do now to get my sys ok? i know that i have a weird mixture of 1.4 and old 1.2 bins..
i tried to make an emerge -e world, but:
| Code: | >>> emerge sys-apps/groff-1.17.2-r3 to /

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking groff-1.17.2.tar.gz
patching file doc/Makefile
patching file doc/groff.texinfo

One thing is for sure... simply copying files from one partition to another DON'T WORK, man!!!
You must use some partition cloning program, as parted or partimage...
As for where do you go from where you are... ohhhhh what a real mess!!! I would install all fresh again from zero....

Perhaps now you should use the livecd to bootstrap your system in order to get the gcc compiler installed...

| you may simply want to downlaoad the 1.2 version again, burn the iso and untar a stage3 tarball over-top of your existing system-this will give you a) a working c/c++ compiler b) continuity with your existing install c) a chance to consider doing an upgrade to 1.4, according to the steps decribed in these forums-simnply untarring a stage3 tarball from a 1.4 cd will not upgrade your sytem -it will give you a sytem with a lot of broken applications searchig for libraries which are no longer present, having been overwritten. |

There is no problem here ... emerge will remove the selected one and you will still have the protect one which is the most up-to-date ...
This option is in make.conf

AUTOCLEAN="yes"
