HellBender Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hah. DOH! One of my package emerges was calling for a newer version of Portage.. But I already had that version installed. So I figured.. why not uninstall it and reinstall it? just ran a emerge -C sys-apps/portage and then tried to emerge sys-apps/portage.. emerge not found, I just uninstalled it :laugh: Stupid me. How can I get portage back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 extract the portage files from the tar files found on the livecd and "install" cd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noir Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I don't know if it would work but you could try booting from the LiveCD, mount your partitions, chroot to your system, setup so you have internet access, and try to do a "emerge portage" from that point.

Danrarbc Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Look at it on the bright side. At least that stubborn package will emerge just fine once you're done ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_daemon Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 HA, reminds me of when I did the stupidiest thing ever. I did the exact same, except with glibc rpms. Now try to run anything without shared C libraries... I wish I had installed a static shell such as /bin/busybox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 ooh ya, chroot, hehe. i forgot about that. On a much older version of portage, it fuxored itself up once and i had to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
