Upgrading Gentoo
It has been awhile since we powered up the Sparc64 box we loaded Gentoo on in this article. Well, links was not on the box, and we wanted it. Emerge failed:
srv-44 scsi # emerge links
.
.
.
!!! Couldn't download links-2.1_pre2-patch.tar.bz2. Aborting.

Doh! We have to emerge portage and sync it:
srv-44 scsi # emerge portage
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/portage-2.0.47-r8 to /
>>> md5 ;-) portage-2.0.47-r8.tar.bz2
>>> Unpacking source...
tar xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/portage-2.0.47-r8.tar.bz2
>>> Source unpacked.

That is better!! Agatha says: "When upgrading Gentoo, don't forget to emerge portage and emerge sync". And, that's the truth.
