I think it has been made quite clear in this thread that the current solution
isn't "working good". Look at the cases where people mistakenly uninstalled
coreutils instead of mktemp. Not to mention the fact that uninstalling mktemp
before upgrading coreutils is indeed the wrong solution.
So why not to send on screen info about what to do rather then "ERROR"?
This will only make problem with question "What to install to get
working gentoo?". Maybe emerge should be updated by something like INFO
about error? Like that - If emerge found TXT/HTML/MAN file in package
directory in portage it should display it when error occurred. This
makes more easy to get some help without package granulation changes.
like:
TREE:
/usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk-chan_unicall
+- asterisk-chan_unicall-0.0.3_pre9.ebuild
+- ChangeLog
+- Manifest
+- metadata.xml
+- errorhelp-info.bz2
Where errorhelp-info.bz2 is manpage with errors information and repair
infos.
I think this is good idea.
