During update portage-2.0.54 -> 2.1_pre4/2.1_pre5, the directory /distdir is completely removed with all its content and without any warning (yes, I really mean "/distdir" as the full path, i.e. in the root directory). When watching in another shell during emerge, I saw that the directory was still there when regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache, but it was missing after the following output was complete: >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> sys-apps/portage-2.1_pre5 merged. find: invalid predicate `' rmdir: `': No such file or directory The above two lines are also strange, although it is not clear whether they are related to the bug. Tested on x86 and amd64.

This seems to be caused by `rm -rf "${PORTAGE_BUILDDIR}/distdir"` inside ebuild.sh. Needs a sanity check...
I've added a sanity check in dyn_clean() to make sure that PORTAGE_BUILDDIR is not zero length (svn r2800). It seems that PORTAGE_BUILDDIR was unset because portage-2.0.54 (which doesn't set PORTAGE_BUILDDIR) was using the newly installed ebuild.sh from portage-2.1_pre5.
Thanks. This sounds reasonable and also decreases the danger that something else is going to havoc if something is fooling around with the environment.
Created attachment 80877 [details, diff] existing clean phase ported from bash to python IOM ebuild.sh really should only handle ebuild execution rather than random shell tasks. There's no need for the clean phase to be inside ebuild.sh.
I have released the sanity check in 2.1_pre5-r2.
