Hello, emerging xorg-server failes with an error message telling me, that it cannot write to /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled wich seems to be a symlink pointing to nowhere. If i delete this symlink and create a directory there, emerging xorg-server works
Reopen with output of 'equery b /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled'
Please reopen, as this bug is still alive (on my x86 system) when I emerge xorg-server-1.2.0-r3. Here is the information you need: > Reopen with output of 'equery b /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled' [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled in *... ] x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-0.8 (/usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled -> /var/lib/xkb) x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 (/usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled) x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 (/usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled) Since this is a symlink, I checked to see who owns the linked directory: equery b /var/lib/xkb [ Searching for file(s) /var/lib/xkb in *... ] x11-apps/xkbcomp-1.0.2 (/var/lib/xkb) Now, I have xkbcomp installed on my system, but /var/lib/xkb was never created. The symlink in /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled exists, but the target directory "xkb' is missing, leading to the error previously described. The workaround is to manually create the directory /var/lib/xkb.
