Bugzilla Bug 162008

I get an error upon emerge of eselect-1.0.7:

test -z "/usr/bin" || mkdir -p --
"/var/tmp/portage/eselect-1.0.7/image//usr/bin"
ln -snf /var/tmp/portage/eselect-1.0.7/image//usr/bin/eselect \

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge eselect

This is with a freshly updated portage-tree by the way

I found a solution: when emerging with MAKEOPTS="-j1" it works.
The linking fails since the eselect binary is being copied by another
processor/thread which runs behind.

I believe there should be a check or lock in the ebuild...

same problem here. workaround works: 

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge eselect

Hmm, I thought I had fixed most of the parallel-install issues. For now, the
ebuild is fixed with an emake -j1 for install. I'll try and get it fully fixed
for a future release.

Thanks for the report!

I've just pushed out 1.0.8, which should really fix parallel make. Try it and
lemme know how it works.

No luck, see the other bug. 

Created an attachment (id=107019) [edit]
build log for failed eselect-1.0.8 build

Also had the linking problem, this is with MAKEOPTS=-j3

Hrm... so I guess I missed one. I'll push a patch into the tree in a few hours
that I hope will *really* fix this (though I don't have a machine I can really
test it out on).

Okay, the patch is committed to the tree. I've tested on a server with
MAKEOPTS="-j20" without my patch, and I see the failure. With my patch, I
don't. 

Please try emerging 1.0.8 again with your usual MAKEOPTS and see if it now
works as intended.

Hoping it's really really fixed this time. If not, please feel free to hit me
over the head with another build log.

Thanks it now works for me.

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge eselect

Okay, but does the current patched version of eselect-1.0.8 in the tree work
for you with your usual MAKEOPTS setting?

no,
it doesn't work with my usual MAKAOPTS.

After you emerge --sync and try again, could you attach a full build log to
this bug?

not it works.
thank you!

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge eselect
works for me also

*** Bug 162331 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Uh...

1/ emerge --sync before commenting here!
2/ MAKEOPTS="-j1" is NOT a solution to this bug
3/ emerge --sync before commenting here!
