Description:   Opened: 2003-10-02 08:59 0000 
I've got /tmp and /usr in different partitions.

I've done "eupdatedb" and...

 * indexing: 99%
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/eupdatedb", line 110, in ?
    rename(tmpfile, esearchdbfile)
OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

That line in /usr/sbin/eupdatedb is 
"rename(tmpfile, esearchdbfile)"

which cannot be done: they are in different partitions. 


Reproducible: Always

Upps! I should have said /var.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug-report.
I've fixed the bug by using shutil.copyfile and os.unlink. It should be working
now. So we just have to wait for an developer to bump the ebuild to esearch-0.4.2
;-)

I also replaced the counter (0% to 100%) by an ebuild-countdown, because
the display was often wrong (as I see in your message where it only went
up to 99%).

David
