Problem with security update [Solved]

Postby serheed » Sun Apr 19, 2009 21:33

I am new to Sabayon linux. I heard that I will face some problems when I wish to update the system. I used to use ubuntu, mandriva, puppy linux and other fancy distribution. Then I decided to try Sabayon. It is a very nice distribution with great artwork. I tried these commands to secure PC:

Code: Select all
#  glsa-check -t all to check your system
# Then to fix run glsa-check -f $(glsa-check -t all)


but I ended with a problem:

Code: Select all
>>> Emerging (1 of 3) media-video/em8300-modules-0.17.2
 * em8300-0.17.2.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...                  [ ok ]
 * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...                                     [ ok ]
 * checking auxfile checksums ;-) ...                                    [ ok ]
 * checking miscfile checksums ;-) ...                                   [ ok ]
 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Unable to find kernel sources at /usr/src/linux
 * This package requires Linux sources.
 * Please make sure that /usr/src/linux points at your running kernel,
 * (or the kernel you wish to build against).
 * Alternatively, set the KERNEL_DIR environment variable to the kernel sources location
 *
 * ERROR: media-video/em8300-modules-0.17.2 failed.
 * Call stack:

 *        linux-mod.eclass, line  578:  Called linux-info_pkg_setup
 *       linux-info.eclass, line  696:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      get_version || die "Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version"
 *  The die message:
 *   Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/lib/entropy/logs/media-video:em8300-modules-0.17.2:20090419-201438.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.17.2/temp/die.env'.
 *

>>> Failed to emerge media-video/em8300-modules-0.17.2, Log file:

>>>  '/var/lib/entropy/logs/media-video:em8300-modules-0.17.2:20090419-201438.log'
