Emerge sync fails

[helino]

Hi, when i running magic, it says that i need to an emerge sync. The problem is that the emerge sync fails. When it's running emerge sync and is updating the portage cache, it stops at 88%, and says:

Cannot resolve virtual package name to an ebuild. This is a bug, report (virtual/libint] -0)

Then I need to hit enter to cancel the sync. I'm using Gentoox Home 4.0. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hey guys.

I figred out my 88% error.

May help you out as well.

My problem was :

XBox : v1.6
E: install, non native fresh home install.

<====The Fix====>

SET THE GODDAMN DATE!!!!

Haha! After 13 attemts to fix it, making changes to symlinks etc... All it turned out to be was the date was set wrong. LMAO!

Heres what you do :

Code: Select all

root # date MMDDHHmmYYYY

MM=month
DD=day
HH=hour
mm=minute
YYYY=year

So the command for setting the date to April the 1st 2006, at 1:30pm would be :

Code: Select all

root # date 040113302006

This also fixed my sync errors and stuff.

Hope this helps!

The date was not my problem, it was the portage, as sevenlayercookie said. But, when i ran

Code: Select all

emerge portage

it said:

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

To fix this I, all did was to run this:

Code: Select all

unlink /etc/make.profile

Then run this:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.0/ /etc/make.profile

Then I could run emerge portage, and after that magic and emerge sync.
