Did you try to do fsck? :) Pay attention at messages after finishing. It might suggest to run fsck.reiserfs with --rebuild-tree.
Also try to disable sandbox and ccache
I see this problem also. If it really matters this is a reiserfs partition, but there's no evidence I've seen of any disk problems. I do not have sandbox or ccache options turned on: <SNIP> gcc -L. -L./gsm -o soxmix soxmix.o -lst -lgsm -lm -logg -lvorbis -lvorbisfile -lvorbisenc -lmad -lmp3lame >>> Install sox-12.17.4-r2 into /var/tmp/portage/sox-12.17.4-r2/image/ category media-sound man: prepallstrip: strip: strip: usr/bin/sox usr/bin/soxmix >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/sox-12.17.4-r2/image/ >>> Merging media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r2 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/bin/ >>> /usr/bin/sox >>> /usr/bin/play >>> /usr/bin/soxmix >>> /usr/bin/soxeffect --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/ >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/Changelog.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/TODO.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/soxexam.txt.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/sox.txt.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/sox-12.17.4-r2/libst.txt.gz --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/sox.1.gz >>> /usr/share/man/man1/play.1.gz >>> /usr/share/man/man1/soxexam.1.gz * Caching service dependencies... >>> media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r2 merged. media-sound/sox selected: 12.17.4-r1 protected: 12.17.4-r2 omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r1...

No reiser here anyway.. Removing ccache didnt help.
Full fsck over all partitions (ext3) via shutdown -Fr now brought no change
I think it would be nice if ebuild was attached.
Sorry I am commiting again :) Here is the link http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=185481 You just need to change ^A on "
Remove the ^A from /var/db/pkg/media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r1/sox-12.17.4-r1.ebuild and itll unmerge. I guess committing a new version wont fix this, the ebuild is already copied over to the /var dir.
can't fix this as it's a problem with the user's system...
And everyone who has this ebuild on their system, probably quite a few. Seems this needs to be resolved in some way as a general issue. I dont think this should really be closed as for the "average Joe" Gentoo needs some better fix.
Oh come on - what do you mean this can't be fixed? Put something in the -r2 ebuild (a patch?) that will check to see if the -r1 version is already installed and to fix the file in /var that needs to be fixed. Then the subsequent clean will succeed. That is - if /var is reachable from the -r2 ebuild emerge run.
All right - as I sometimes do - I spoke a little hastily. This bug should either be marked as a duplicate of 46096 as bug 58884 is, or a duplicate of 58884. Same goes for 58801.
.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46096 ***
Not fair! It wasn't a duplicate, or at least not an exact duplicate. In my case the ^A to " conversion had to happen much earlier in the file. Anyway, it's fixed and the emerge -C worked. thanks!
