I have a theory in regards to these paticular error messages.

But I'm unsure if my theory is correct or not.

I did a stage 3 GRP initial install.

I used the 2nd CD to install KDE,Gaim,PPP ect..ect...

Please correct my way of thinking here but arent the pkgs that come on the 2nd CD 
already 
precompiled. So they are in binary format ready to go versus downloading the source 
and compiling
it?

After the intial install of KDE and others off the CD, I got internet access and first 
updated my
system via "emerge sync" then "emerge -u system" then "emerge -uDf world". 
There was a list of about 25 files downloaded. 

It seems that towards the end of each compilation for each file I get the same type of 
(what I
believe to be) a "False Negative" error message.

Example:
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1174: 
/var/tmp/portage-pkg/genkernel-1.5/inf/genkernel-1.5.ebuild: No
such file or directory

!!! ERROR: genkernel-1.5/genkernel-1.5 failed.
!!! Function , Line 1174, Exitcode 1
!!! error sourcing ebuild


Now the real interesting thing is that the errors seem to be consistent in 2 ways.

1> No matter which pkg I get the error on, the next line is exactly the same "!!! 
Function , Line
1174, Exitcode 1"

2> If I look in /var/log/emerge.log all the pkgs where merged just fine. But the pkgs 
that emerge
is complaining about are actually the binary packages that were installed off the CD.

So if this is correct then I would assume that emerge doesn't have a way to tell if 
the same pkg
its looking for was installed precompiled in binary format versuse being downloaded 
and then
compiled from source.. 

Just a theory. But it seems like a good one so far. Anyone else having these same 
errors as
possibly doing a stage3 GRP install. But if you do a "qpkg -I" the packages were 
upgraded and  
merged successfully?

Thanks,
JBanks
