Anyone else having Emerge trouble? [Solved]

[krcrouse]

Just installed 3.4f and started to get the system to my necessary specs (including ntfs3g). Emerge won't find a single package. Not a single. No emacs. No ntfs3g. Is there something obvious here? It spews about for about 2 minutes checking all the hosts and comes back with

..... garbage garbage garbage.....
last error:

Not here.
You did do the normal " emerge --sync ; emerge portage ; layman -S " and then installed + updated ? Emerge --regen is similar to emerge --sync except it does not redownload the new file lists stuff only local rebuild / regenerate function.

If this worked and is no longer working it could be some packages might have been damaged , fix = " revdep-rebuild -X " after you made sure the /etc/make.conf is close to what you want. Could also have to use " emerge --newuse package name here " , dep -w after /etc/make.conf adjust should help as well.

emerge portage could fix portage = clean install even if it is there already using this.

Hope something here helps.

Yep, that was it. Thanks much.

Hi

I`ve tried the posted solution but it doesn't work for me. I have synced portage and I've also previously installed a couple of packages using emerge. I got this error while trying to get the "emerge -u world' dependency check to pass.

I can't point out my last actions that lead up to this error, but I`d really appreciate some help.

revdep-rebuild fails since it can't download the packages needed. i have an internett connection.
