was using gentoo last night and did a emerge clean which should not remove any packages critical for operation of the machine and had it remove portage.....
Oh dear..... what were you doing emerge clean in the first place? ;)
This has resulted in one very poorly box, does anyone have any idea how i could fix this? Is rpm included by default on the system? I can't check anything now as I am at work but I just wanted to read the docs to make sure I hadn't done anything stupid and now feel vindicated that I was not at fault.
Rpm isn't included which requires you to compile and install......
Anyhow if rpm is included in the base system would somebody mind building me an rpm of portage-2.0.38 please? If it isn't has anybody else got any good ideas?
Check over @ forums.gentoo.org for this.. I think your best bet is to find portage sitting somewhere in a stage-1 2 or 3 tarball and you could lift it up from there?
Check the forums just in case...
