If /dev/vcsa8 is a removable drive please insert a disk to work around this bug. For me this solves the problem temp, also it should be fixed in the software. Hope it helps Nils Ohlmeier The problem is that portage.py in 'isdev' can't check/unlink invalid symbolic link.
/dev/vcsa8 is symbolic link to /dev/vcc/a8 that is invalid.
rm /dev/vcsa8
And then:
rm /dev/vcs8
rm /dev/midi00
rm /dev/sg0
...
--- !empty dir /boot
>>> sys-apps/baselayout-1.6.7-r1 unmerged
And the unmerge was done :-).
fixed on cvs. This bug was silly since we don't unmerge device nodes anyway. |
