Bug 128931 – World update fails due to libidn-0.5.15

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description bazancik 2006-04-05 09:33:56 UTC]

Recently I did "world update" and it failed on libidn-0.5.15 - after compilation I got:

-- 
(...)
making executable: /usr/lib/libidn.so.11.5.8

QA Notice: the following files contain executable stacks
 Files with executable stacks will not work properly (or at all!)
 on some architectures/operating systems.  A bug should be filed
 at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ to make sure the file is fixed.
--- --- RWX usr/lib/libidn.so.11.5.8

Any ideas what to do with it??

You forgot to reopen the bug.

That's odd. I'm not sure why the Errno 20 was generated.  If you try to install libidn-0.5.15 again, are you able to reproduce the problem?

[Comment 6 bazancik 2006-04-05 11:34:23 UTC]

Yes, every time I do 'emerge libidn' or 'emerge --update --deep world' I get an error, so the problem is reproduced.

I see. I seems like /var/db/pkg/net-dns/libidn-0.5.15.portage_lockfile is a stale lock file.  You should remove it.

Bingo - that was it! I removed net-dns (rm /var/db/pkg/net-dns). net-dns was a file not dir!!??
