This is really an upstream bug (submitted as http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ticket/682), but it would be nice if a workaround was put into gentoo. Parallel installation of munin doesn't always work. On my host the problem shows up by munin-node-configure-snmp not being installed. But since it is a race condition problems may vary on other hosts. I worked around the problem by forcing -j1 in install line of the makefile: --- munin-1.3.4-r1.ebuild.orig 2009-04-05 01:08:24.000000000 -0700 +++ munin-1.3.4-r1.ebuild 2009-04-28 12:37:25.000000000 -0700 @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ dirs="${dirs} /etc/munin/plugins/" keepdir ${dirs} - emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-main install-man install-node install-node-plugins || die "install failed" + emake DESTDIR="${D}" -j1 install-main install-man install-node install-node-plugins || die "install failed" fowners munin:munin ${dirs} emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-man || die "install manpages failed"
Could you post the actual failing output please? Install seems to work fine for me on -j16 so it would be helpful to see the exact failure output.
Fixed in 1.3.4-r2, logs would have helped lots.
