Issue installing Grub

[galoisghost]

Hi,

 

I'm attemptin my very first install.  And was doin fine up to

emerge boot-update

Which fails with

chmod a+x grub-mkrescue
PATH=.:$PATH pkgdatadir=. /usr/bin/help2man --section=1 -i /var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-2.00-r7/work/grub-2.00/docs/man/grub-mkrescue.h2m -o grub-mkrescue.1 grub-mkrescue

Makefile:22935: recipe for target 'grub-mkrescue.1' failed

I tried

perl-cleaner --all

But that did not fix the issue, probably because it didn't finish.

 

All relevant logs are attached.

 

I used  http://build.funtoo.org/funtoo-stable/x86-64bit/core2_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz

 

Any ideas how I can rectify this?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Thanks for the reply.  I've just completed  emerge -e boot-update  It seems to have worked (it didn't give me any errors)  I'll continue on and see how I go.

 

The output from perlcleaner was attached above in case that helps anyone else

Hello and welcome.

It's probably not your fault, you lucked out and installed at the same time perl was being updated to a new version.  It can be kind of tricky even for established installs to cope with that.

Yes, the fact that perl-cleaner didn't finish sounds like a good bet.  Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come to the rescue here, but until then, I wonder if perl-cleaner complains about blockers?  That's often the case.  If so, make a note of the blockers and uninstall them, then it should finish and you should get over the hump.  Then you can reinstall them ( I think you should, but I never do), do emerge --depclean && revdep-rebuild.  You often have to pull out perl stuff to get it to work.

Otherwise, perhaps post your results from perl-cleaner to give us more to go on.

Apologies, low on sleep here.  Glad you got it.
