Comment 1 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-30 17:08:33 UTC
sorry, I cannot reproduce this here, can you?
Do you have firefox installed?

Seems temporary to me or a portage error
Comment 2 Martin Atenreit 2006-08-30 23:09:42 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
> sorry, I cannot reproduce this here, can you?

Yes, I can. 
# emerge --sync ; emerge a2ps ==> I got the same error message again.

> Do you have firefox installed?

Yes, www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.5 is installed.
I'll unmerge firefox and try again. Please wait...
Comment 3 Martin Atenreit 2006-08-31 05:33:34 UTC
(In reply to comment #2)

# emerge --unmerge mozilla-firefox ; emerge a2ps ; emerge mozilla-firefox
  ==> works perfect, looks like a workaround :-)

# emerge --unmerge mozilla-firefox a2ps ; emerge mozilla-firefox ; emerge a2ps
  ==> doesn't work due to sandbox violation

I don't know if this is a portage error or an ebuild-file error.
I think it is an ebuild-file error, but I'm a new newbie.
Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Comment 4 José María Fernández González 2006-09-05 13:37:41 UTC
(In reply to comment #3)

I think it is an error, but it is not from a2ps. I was 'googling', looking for references about these tmp files, and I found them inside www-client/epiphany ebuilds.  It had the same problem as a2ps, and they avoided it using 'addpredict', which teaches to the sandbox about the violation. See:

http://bugday.gentoo.org/sandbox.html

So the key point is that there is a bug there, which is also appearing in an unrelated package. Adequate addpredict sentences will avoid it, but it will be still hanging there.

Comment 6 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-18 03:27:34 UTC
I fixed this by adding the addpredict to -r5, thanks. 


Arches please stabilize -r5 to fix this bug

Ok, tests are known to fail, at least on x86.

ppc done.
Comment 17 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-04 09:19:52 UTC
The current stable ebuild for alpha amd64 and mips also has broken autotools handling, please mark stable asap.
Comment 18 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-15 11:41:08 UTC
amd64 stable
Comment 19 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-22 22:36:20 UTC
mips, your current stable is uncompilable due to multiple bugs fixed in -r5.

Closing CANTFIX.
Comment 20 Martin von Gagern 2007-12-17 12:58:08 UTC
I've just posted a patch in bug 202569 that should make the addpredict commands superfluous, as it simply tells configure not to look for netscape at all.

Out of curiosity: was the original bug report (and anyone else who could reproduce this) on a system where there is a binary called netscape? If so, does this binary belong to any official ebuild? These commands will tell you:
  which netscape
  emerge -an portage-utils && qfile -v $(which netscape)
Comment 21 Martin Atenreit 2007-12-17 13:40:26 UTC
There is a link to the firefox binary.

ls -l /usr/bin/netscape
result: /usr/bin/netscape -> firefox

and the result of the command qfile $(which firefox) is:
www-client/mozilla-firefox (/usr/bin/firefox)
