emerge of linux-sabayon-2.6.26 for x86_64 fails [Solved]

emerge =linux-sabayon-2.6.26 fails on my x86_64 laptop. Here's the bottom of the build log:

Notice the error message "* ERROR: Could not find busybox source tarball: /var/cache/genkernel/src/busybox-1.7.4.tar.bz2!"

Now, busybox-1.7.4.tar.bz2 is in /usr/portage/distfiles/

And in /var/cache/genkernel/ there is only a directory x86_64 containing busybox-1.7.4-x86_64.tar.bz2:

Any ideas?

[gaffu]

Hello,

try reemerging/upgrade genkernel (and busybox), because genkernel used to store files it needs at runtime in /usr/portage/distfiles, not a great idea because one should be able to erase the content of the distfiles directory without losing any functionality (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220111).

Hope this helps.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Thanks for the reply, gaffu. Strange thing, though, is that merging linux-sabayon-2.6.26 re-merges genkernel-3.4.9. Here's the linux-sabayon-2.6.26 ebuild from the SL Subversion repository; notice the reference to genkernel-3.4.9:

I've tried re-merging genkernel, linux-sabayon and busybox, and none of those helped. I think I might have to hack the linux-sabayon-2.6.26 ebuild and change it to refer to genkernel-3.4.10-r1.

[Thev00d00]

I had this a while back cant remember what i did though, this may help:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?fo ... &id=225073

[Fitzcarraldo]

Solved it in the end by doing:

Code: Select all

emerge -C genkernel
emerge -1v linux-sabayon

Judging by Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 225073, I could have hacked the linux-sabayon-2.6.26 ebuild and changed genkernel-3.4.9 to genkernel-3.4.10 and it would have worked, as it seems that genkernel-3.4.10-r1 fixes the bug in genkernel-3.4.10 (which is not present in 3.4.9-r12, by the looks of it, 'cause that's the one that's merged by linux-sabayon-2.6.26).

BTW, the comments in the Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 220111 (see post by gaffu) are hilarious -- they read more like a bunch of kids squabbling than developers trying to solve a problem.
