I deleted /usr/portage/*

[cuchumino]

I know... I know...  :unsure:

 

I was going for the last action of the day. typed in

rm -rf /usr/portage/*

instead of:

rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles/*

I am currently getting the following output when I try to emerge --sync

Anyone know how to fix? I'd hate to have to wipe. :S

Have someone do an emerge --quickpkg portage for you and install the resultant tarball by extracting to /:

 

# tar xpf portage.tbz2 -C /

[sputnik]

This never fails:http://www.funtoo.org/Installing_Portage_From_Snapshot

Although guessing, you've still got some hidden files in /usr/portage, just finish what you started and rm /usr/portage, install -d /usr/portage and try emerge --sync, faster.  That is if you don't care about distfiles and packages.

[drobbins]

Deleting /usr/portage doesn't cause emerge to fail on --sync, so you have something else going on.

 

It's perfectly fine to rm -rf /usr/portage and emerge --sync to get a new copy. This is something that works.

[cuchumino]

Thanks for the messages. I did what sputnik suggested.

 

I also downloaded a stage3 tarball image and replaced /usr/lib/portage/{bin,pym} with what was in the tarball.

 

I'm getting this error now. I think it's getting there. :)

!!! git pull error in /usr/portage.

In any case, thanks for the help so far!

[cuchumino]

Thanks for your help everyone.

 

I ended up re-installing funtoo. I concluded that I must have done something else that first night I deleted portage in an attempt to fix it, and got lost in the depths of my mind when I went to sleep. 

 

I'm marking as solved because, as pointed out, had this only been a deleted /usr/portage/* , the following:

 

 

#tar xpf portage.tbz2 -C /

 

 

Should have fixed the problem, as it completely populated it again.

 

In any case, thanks for the support!
