What's with that strange "Permission denied: '/etc/portage/profile/make.globals'" error of yours? Please fix this screw up and try again.
(In reply to comment #2) > What's with that strange "Permission denied: > '/etc/portage/profile/make.globals'" error of yours? Please fix this screw up > and try again. Indeed - I do not have a /etc/portage/profile/make.globals, but I do have: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2928 Sep 11 10:57 /etc/make.globals What shall I do? Copy it over manually? Shouldn't this have happened by upgrading to the latest baselayout/portage? -- Regards, Mick
I do not have such file. AFAIK, anything in /etc/portage is created by user and is entirely optional.
(In reply to comment #4) > I do not have such file. AFAIK, anything in /etc/portage is created by user and > is entirely optional. Fair enough, but I can't remember ever creating such a file. What's the recommended way forward? -- Regards, Mick
It does say !!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them. !!! Errors in this file should be reported on bugs.gentoo.org. so you probably must have a syntactic error in your /etc/make.conf. A quote which never ends perhaps?
Created attachment 96737 [details] /etc/make.globals Thanks Alin, The file has been created from my /etc/make.conf and I don't think that I have any errors in there (I can't see any). I attach it here anyway in case your trained eyes spot some easy typo. As I understand it the ebuild is looking to a different directory for my make.globals than it should. Thanks for your help. PS. I have also posted a message in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/169943 and someone reported some mix-up with the location of the make.globals and the latest suite of upgrades. -- Regards, Mick
I was talking about /etc/make.conf. I didn't expect a mistake in make.globals, since you are not supposed to edit that file anyway.
Created attachment 96740 [details] make.conf OK, here is my make.conf. -- Regards, Mick
You should ask help on forum or gentoo-user mail list. I don't have a clue. Try the usual fix ups: emaint and emerge -u portage.
(In reply to comment #10) > You should ask help on forum or gentoo-user mail list. I don't have a clue. > > Try the usual fix ups: emaint and emerge -u portage. Thanks Alin, emaint does not report anything and I have just emerged sys-apps/portage-2.1.1. The error remains and it is repeated on two boxen of mine (both with similar configuration). -- Regards, Mick
A revedep-rebuild revealed a number of libs needed rebuilding for wvdial. revedep-rebuild emerged wvdial and followed happily with wvstream. Problem solved! :-) -- Regards, Mick
