Bug 18290 – Fail in running "emerge /var/db/pkg/net-dns/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2.ebuild config" for settting up the $CHROOT dir

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carlos Silva 2003-03-27 08:22:03 UTC]

ebuild doesn't initialize the $EXISTS var. So when I 
run "emerge /var/db/pkg/net-dns/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2.ebuild 
config" a first time and the $CHROOT dir exists, when you delete the dir and 
run it again the $EXISTS var will be set to "yes" and the script will fail 
without any warnings. A simple $EXISTS="no" in the beginning will solve the 
problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set CHROOT="/chroot/dns" in /etc/conf.d/named
2. mkdir -p /chroot/dns
3. emerge /var/db/pkg/net-dns/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2.ebuild config
4. rm -rf /chroot/dns
5. emerge /var/db/pkg/net-dns/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2/bind-9.2.2_rc1-r2.ebuild config

Actual Results:  
It won't report any error (nor any output whatsoever) and won't configure the 
chroot dir.

Expected Results:  
Configure the /chroot/dns dir tree to suport chrooted bind.

It was a clean gentoo instalation.

shouldn't it be ebuild .... config anyway instead of emerge .... config?
