If I try to emerge canna after doing "emerge -C canna" first, I have not problems. But if I try to re-emerge again (if, say, I change use flags and then do emerge --newuse), I get the following error: ... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/canna-3.7_p2/work/Canna37p2/doc' ACCESS DENIED symlink: /var/tmp/portage/canna-3.7_p2/image/usr/sbin/cannakill ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/portage/canna-3.7_p2/image//usr/sbin/cannakill' to `../bin/catdic': Permission denied >>> Completed installing canna-3.7_p2 into /var/tmp/portage/canna-3.7_p2/image/ --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-app-i18n_-_canna-3.7_p2-24382.log" symlink: /var/tmp/portage/canna-3.7_p2/image/usr/sbin/cannakill (symlink to /usr/bin/catdic) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % emerge --info Portage 2.1_pre10-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-g -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer nostrip sandbox sfperms strict userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mymirror.asiaosc.org/gentoo/ ftp://213.186.33.38/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/gentoo/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ " LINGUAS="en ja" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--timeout=300" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X Xaw3d aac aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts bzip2 canna cdr cjk cli crypt cups debug doc dri dvd eds emboss encode esd foomaticdb fortran freetype freewnn gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java joystick jpeg kde kdexdeltas libg++ libwww lm_sensors mad maildir mbox mikmod mng mozsvg mp3 mpeg mule ncurses nls noantlr nobcel nobeanutils nobsh nocommonslogging nocommonsnet nodrm nojdepend nojsch nojython nolog4j nooro noregexp norhino noxalan noxerces ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl pic png pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection ruby scanner sdl session spell spl sse ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis wmf xine xinerama xml2 xmms xorg xv zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux linguas_en linguas_ja userland_GNU video_cards_matrox" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS
well, this report is a dupe of #132635?
No, it isn't. It looks like the problem in dosym function, which should be resolved in upgrading portage to the latest version. Could you upgrade portage to the latest stable and try emerging canna again?
This should be fixed with the current stable portage.
I did emerge --sync emerge -b --newuse world yesterday and run into it too (/var, /var/tmp, /var/tmp/portage are NOT symlinks).
