Portage problems with Gentoo install

[nerrollus]

Posted this on the Gentoo forums, but thought I'd run it by here incase someone has seen it.

When I'm doing a stage1 install everything runs smooth up to the point where you start the bootstrap.sh. Here's the error I get when I run it:

Using >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.7.9-r1
Using >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.25
Using >=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.4
Using >=sys-devel/gcc-3.2
Using
Using >=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5
Using >=sys-apps/texinfo-4.2-r1
Using sys-libs/zlib
Using >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2.20020112a

Configuring environment...
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-apps/portage-2.0.25".

!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.


I looked and the portage-2.0.25 ebuild isn't there, but I thought the emerge sync was supposed to fix all this type stuff?

I'm using a CD for gentoo I burned off a few months ago, but I'm pretty sure it's the r4 CD that is out now...

Any ideas?

i only have these 2 ebuild for portage now.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9132 Jun 22 04:22 portage-2.0.48-r1.ebuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9172 Jul 1 21:59 portage-2.0.48-r3.ebuild

you may need a new CD or change the version of portage it tries to install - not sure where that is in the bootstrap. it may look in /usr/portage/profiles (a guess as i've never actually looked at the bootstrap script)

Yeah, those are the 2 ebuilds I have too. Someone on the gentoo forums just posted another message with the same problems and good a response. Said before you do a bootstrap if you do an "emerge --nodeps portage" it should fix the problem.

I'm gonna have to wait until I get home to try it, but hopefully that will solve it. Will post the results..

Bad moderator.

Guess you were up all night trying to figure out what that damn tv-out plug was for. :p
