I was messing around with my disk when Gentoo froze up on me. I rebooted and got my system back up, but whenever I attempt an emerge, I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 10 in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7306, in ? do_upgrade(mykey) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7244 in do_upgrade myworld=open("/"+WORLD_FILE,"w") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//var/lib/portage/world'
Well, apparently I destroyed Portage. What now?
No, you didn't. Your world file is gone, that's all (it seems). However, it may be some work to rebuild it.
1) Simply "touch /var/lib/portage/world"
Worked. If it was supposed to spit back some output, it didn't.
2) Then do "emerge -p depclean" (don't forget -p) and put every package it lists into your world file.
It says: !!! You have no world file. Cannot determine explicit merges. !!! You have no installed package tree (var/db/pkg). This is a problem.
While you were typing your first message, I successfully ran an emerge --sync, and it told me that there was a new version of Portage available. This is probably because a lot of /var was annihilated, though.
