Bugzilla Bug 142457

Emerged baselayout-1.12.2 earlier the day and just noticed, that I'm not able
to use the initscripts in /etc/init.d/ any longer. Just the next empty command
line, no error output.
Running /sbin/runscript by hand shows the problem: 

# runscript
bash: /sbin/runscript: cannot execute binary file

I'm glad, that I had not tried to reboot my system since the update. I was
using baselayout-1.12.1 before without problems.

While installing baselayout these error-messages occur:

strip: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded
   sbin/start-stop-daemon
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input
file /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.12.2/image/sbin/start-stop-daemon
   sbin/consoletype
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input
file /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.12.2/image/sbin/consoletype
   sbin/runscript
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input
file /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.12.2/image/sbin/runscript

but it then merges and installs the package anyways.
If you are not watching the build you wouldn't notice that anything has gone
wrong.

emerge log mail does not contain any errormessages either.

hmm...
even more critical: I cannot switch back to baselayout-2.12.1
It tries to download the same file again and again as if the file could not be
fully fetched

I also updated to portage-2.1.1_pre4-r1 today
Might be that there is more than one problem?

I have excactly the same problem(s) on my pegasos2!
Fortunately I has a backup of my system & copied my old baselayout
over the new one manually...

Finally, I was able to rebuild baselayout-1.12.1.
It seems that portage gets confused about the multible entries in SRC_URI
I copied baselayout-1.12.1.ebuild to my overlay and changed SRC_URI to

SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.bz2"
#       http://dev.gentoo.org/~uberlord/baselayout/${P}.tar.bz2
#       http://dev.gentoo.org/~azarah/baselayout/${P}.tar.bz2
#       http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/dist/${P}.tar.bz2"

But I still think this is strange, because the package merged without problems
earlier... I couldn't get it to work with the last version of portage either,
but then I don't know which version of portage I had, when I last compiled
baselayout.

Hello. I think that this problem is caused by Makefile in
baselayout-1.12.2.tar.bz2. Command: "make all" result: "make: Nothing to be
done for `all'." In src directory ther are compiled binaries for x86-32 (ELF32)
and it probably will work only with x86 profile. My platform is AMD64.

Created an attachment (id=93253) [edit]
corect baselayout file

OK, I've updated our build script to make clean before building the tarball so
this should not happen again. My appologies for this :/

baselayout-1.12.3 has the fix.

*** Bug 142690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

ive also updated the build script to check for .o files and not allow a tarball
to be created if they exist
