we need to bump the snapshots for this to fix

ah, gettext pulls in git these days. Try this:

env USE="-git" emerge -u system

Hmm, just an idea. AFAIK at least gettext should have already been
merged while bootstrapping portage. Maybe that would break the cycle.

But I don't know how emege -u system works in detail. Maybe some
additional "oneshots" would help.

First one
I cannot use rsync (firewall), so no emerge --sync, I found emerge-
webrsync in $EPREFIX/usr/sbin but it's not in $PATH.
emerge-webrsync do not work (Trying to retrieve 20100914 snapshot
from http://prefix.gentooexperimental.org

...), so I had to set GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://files.prefix.freens.org,
after looking around into bootstrap-prefix.sh.
It worked, but has it been done properly ?

Second one
emerge -u system fails:
Calculating dependencies... done!


ah, gettext pulls in git these days. Try this:

env USE="-git" emerge -u system


It worked, thanks.

Antoine.
