I was trying to compile jed by typing "emerge jed" and emerge always failed because of a supposably missing buffer.o file in the directory. /var/tmp/portage/jed-0.99.16-r2/work/jed-0.99-16/src/x86objs The buffer.o file existed after compilation, except that the makefile had tried to "cd" into an unexisting directory, causing an error. What I mean is that the buffer.o file existed, but it was not in the directory where the makefile thought it would be. (Read the logs...) then I tried again with "emerge =jed-0.99-16-r2" and it worked !!! Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.do "emerge jed" and it crashes 2.do "emerge =jed-0.99.16-r2" and it works I suspect that something does not get cleaned because when i tried to reproduce it, I had to run step 2 twice to make it work. I have no clue what happens. Actual Results: crashes Expected Results: It should have compiled and not complained :) (My "emerge info" is at the bottom) I suspect ----------------------------- This is the emerge output from the first emerge : ----------------------------- atlas portage # emerge jed Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-editors/jed-0.99.16-r2 to / >>> md5 files ;-) jed-0.99.16-r2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) jed-0.99.16-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/jed.info.diff >>> md5 files ;-) files/jed-0.99.16-jed.info.patch >>> md5 files ;-) files/jed-0.99.16-gentoo-shmode.sl >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-jed-0.99.16-r1 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-jed-0.99.16-r2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) jed-0.99-16.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking jed-0.99-16.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/jed-0.99.16-r2/work * Applying jed-0.99.16-jed.info.patch ...
