I use the
   /etc/portage/modules
to change the cache module to sqlite:
   portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.sqlite.database

Actually, the sandbox access violation errors occur quite often recently. :(

emerge --info

btw, compiling sandbox with plain CFLAGS (-march=athlon64 -O2) doesn't help
anythign at all

actually, it fails during src_unpack() already

This seems to be triggered by the ebuild calling java-config which uses the
portage api. We should be able to fix the portage api to detect potential
sandbox violations like this and avoid them.

add write access to /var/cache/edb/dep when appropriate

If this patch is saved as /tmp/sandbox.patch, then it can be applied as
follows:

patch /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py /tmp/sandbox.patch

the patch seems to have fixed this problem,
openoffice unpack and, i tested pdfbox, where i remeber the error occured too
the problem doesn't occur anymore.
another thing still keeps popping up (i forgot to mention beforehand), when
installing portage (most recent ~ version):

This is to be expected since none of the current ebuilds have this patch. If
you copy the ebuild to overlay apply the patch to portage.py inside
src_unpack(), it will solve the problem.

ok, yes, the patched ebuild fixes this one too
thanks

Thanks for testing. This is fixed in 2.1.5_rc6.
