Hi, I apologize if someone has possibly commented on this already, but Comcast went down for an hour or so and I haven't seen much mail yet. As I did not specifically ask about this earlier I will now. Thanks in advance.
I have been trying to do an emerge -U world this morning. Unfortunately it has created file system problems 3 times. Now when I do it I get a message about an incomplete emerge: Wizard root # emerge -Up world >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! INCOMPLETE MERGE: /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/-MERGING-perl-5.8.0-r12 [ebuild N ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 [ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r9 [2.3.2-r8] [ebuild U ] sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r4 [2.14.90.0.7] Wizard root # I do see these incomplete emerge files: Wizard root # ls -l /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 Jan 18 09:22 -MERGING-perl-5.8.0-r12 -rw-r----- 1 0 Jan 18 07:07 -MERGING-perl-5.8.0-r12.portage_lockfile I'm not clear how to proceed. Is my emerge database now messed up? If I attempt to continue at this point the ebuild seems to correput my file system. (It's happened 3 times now.) I've heard about rebuilding the portage database, but I haven't found instructions yet. Looking for instructions. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
