Any package install ends up with this error and the process stalls.

I'm new to Sabayon and unfamiliar with it's package management. Formally a Debian user.

Thanks

Ok, this system is broken. Now while trying to install it just hangs with the last line..

Code: Select all

## SPM: setup phase

I have tried to remove/reinstall/purge/clean..............
I have read the man pages top to bottom and there is nothing there. Is there proper documentation somewhere I don't see? If I don't get an answer soon I will have to wipe Sabayon(shame). At this point I fear a reboot. I have even tried to unmerge to reinstall and it hangs as well.

I think you mixed Portage with Entropy? Or something hardware related happened.
