Bugzilla Bug 65900

I have USE="gtk2 doc" in my /etc/make.conf.  When I emerge the current version
of gstreamer (0.8.5, but I haven't tried building older versions with
USE="doc"), the emerge fails due to sandbox access violations.

Extracts from the emerge output:

creating gstreamer-scan
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8

creating gstreamer-libs-scan
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="doc" emerge gstreamer

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails and an access violation summary log is created, containing the
"mkdir:" lines mentioned above.

Sorry cannot reproduce with gstreamer-0.8.7, please try with 0.8.7.

well, it may be some odd sort of behaviour when there is no writable registry
in /var and falls back, but it may be hard to figure out the right conditions.

I emerged 0.8.7 okay with the same USE flags "gtk2 doc" so I guess something
got fixed.

The only odd thing I noticed was at the end of the emerge process:

>>> original instance of package unmerged safely.
Rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) ...
Added plugin alsa with 3 features.
Added plugin y4menc with 1 feature.
[...]
Added plugin avi with 2 features.
Rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) ...
Loaded 107 plugins with 203 features.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
 * Caching service dependencies...
>>> media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.7 merged.

I'm not sure what that "Rebuilding user_registry" is all about.  I don't think
I generally use gstreamer as user root, though obviously I install it as user
root.

Hi, I can confirm that this happens for me using gstreamer-0.8.7.

IMO this is a MAJOR bug , since it is blocking gnome 2.8.

Tried emergind with -doc for gstreamer. Works fine.

I have the same problem doing an emerge world. Probably a dependence to gnome.
I tried masking 0.8.5 to use 0.8.3-r1 instead. Same problem (mkdir /root/.gstreamer-0.8).

I have no clue where this comes from though.
Here is my emerge info, though you'll notice my use flag is huuuuge :

As mentioned, removing the doc use-flag removes the problem. I emerged the
package with USE=-doc and it built fine. I will live with that, bye bye
--newuse on emerge world for the time being...

Im trying to emerge gstreamer 8.5 too and im receiving the same error:

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-media-libs_-_gstreamer-0.8.5-9526.log"

mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
mkdir:     /root/.gstreamer-0.8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

My USE var is a litle big, but im using doc on it too.

added an addpredict for root, this should keep this from happening for now.

I'd like someone to look into this & fix it in a cleaner way if possible.
