Pentoo update errror |
 |
Pentoo is a Gentoo-based distribution used for penetration testing. This week some users of the distribution ran into an issue where the operating system was unable to update. "If your system works, you have no need to read this. You won't hit this issue, it's already fixed. If your system is unable to update, or you have schadenfreude, read on. Sorry. My bad. Very recently some changes were pushed to Pentoo which moved the Pentoo Overlay from /var/lib/layman to /var/db/repos, for a few reasons, none of which are hugely relevant (although one of them was to make gpg verification work). When this was done, it passed a test case on my system, and was pushed without extensive testing. As such, a few issues popped up, all relating to stupid mistakes made my me personally." The project's blog post includes instructions for fixing the potential update errors. |
