[My mistake] Installing and launching mintlocale seems like it broke my Gentoo #60

Closed Deuxis closed 6 years ago

Seriously, it seems like installing and/or launching this replaced my /usr/bin/emerge with a symlink to ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2. I have no idea how could that possibly happen, but emerge was working fine, then (when in git repo directory) I did sudo rsync -av usr/* /usr/, checked that localisation tools are now in my menu, launched them, nothing happened. I launched it from console, and it failed with some kind of "python-exec not found" error. So I did emerge --search python-exec" to check if it's in the repos... and got bash: emerge: command not found. ls -l claims this: image

(I thought it was some kind of PATH issue and rebooted into mint to investigate further, hence the chroot)

Apparently I was wrong and portage uses python-exec by default, but I'm still pretty sure it was mintlocale that broke it. Some kind of python dependency issue?

Gentoo (on amd64) symlinks /usr/lib to /usr/lib64. My rsync has overwritten that symlink with the directory. Sigh.
