 |
|
Hi there,
I want to prepare a Gentoo Linux chroot under Debian Stretch. I have mounted dev, proc, and sys with the option rbind, copied /etc/resolv.conf and now when I enter emerge, I get a "Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.".
This is funny, because I can execute "ping distfiles.gentoo.org" (e.g.) in that chroot without a problem, a manual wget on the URLs given in the error message also works. I have an IPv4-only LAN.
What's wrong? (I have no idea except there must be a different DNS server setting emerge uses, or it's IPv6-only).
It's stage3-amd64 of 20170907 and portage of 20170927

| Is /etc/resolv.conf accessible to unprivileged users? You tested as root, but Portage would run the wget process as user portage. Your symptoms match the results seen when user portage is unable to read /etc/resolv.conf. |
