Hi everyone,

This morning after my emerge sync portage was in my list of things to
upgrade so I upgraded it to portage-2.0.51. After this I decided to
remerge gcc with multilib support and this happened:

>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gcc-3.4.2.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) protector-3.4.1-1.tar.gz
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gcc-3.4.2-manpages.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gcc-3.4.2-patches-1.1.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gcc-3.4.0-piepatches-v8.7.6.5.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) bounds-checking-gcc-3.4.2-1.00.patch.bz2
>>> Merging sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2 to /
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 129:

directory

`/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.2-r2/work/.chkgccversion': No such file or

multilib

Then my actual gcc was unmerged. :( Now if try to emerge it again here
is what happens:


artsucks root # emerge gcc -p

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2


But gcc is not installed anymore. This is what happens while trying to build it:

Removing multilib from my USE gives the same thing without the two
"multilib" lines above. What would be the best way to solve this? Is
there more infos I should provide?

Could you perhaps boot from a LiveCD, mount the filesystems, chroot then
re-emerge gcc using the compiler on the CD?

It doesn't work like that. When you chroot into your install from the LiveCD,
you are using your install's compiler, not the LiveCD's (if it even had one).
You need to get a binary package of gcc and install that. What processor
(Athlon, Athlon-XP, P3, P4, etc.) do you have? I'm sure someone can generate a
binary package from their gcc and let you download it.

I am on amd64, what arch are these for? Also, installing a binary gcc
only seems like a partial solution because nothing is done to solve
what caused this in the first place and prevent it from happening
again.

Thanks to all who took time to answer.

Always always always run emerge -pv to check before doing any emerges!

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68443

It looks like that is your bug. Those packages above are for x86 instead of
amd64. What version of gcc did you have? Once you get a binary for it, you can
put '-sandbox' in FEATURES in your /etc/make.conf, download a package and
'emerge <package>.tar.bz2', and then 'emerge portage'.

Um, I may have missed it, tell me how a pretend could prevent this?

May be if you uncompress a stage3 tarball in your root dir... it provide
a working system with gcc... after it you might do a new upgrade.

It was just an idea that I had... maybe it can destroy your system too.

Ok people you can stop sending ideas. ;) I got a binary gcc package
from a friend and the bug should now be fixed in portage...

Thanks everyone!
