baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3 relies on ${S} being available during pkg_preinst, which is not the case when merging baselayout as a binary package. All pkg_* functions are not allowed to access files in ${S} and other build-time directories. luna ~ # emerge -1k baselayout Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3 to / >>> Extracting info >>> Extracting baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3 >>> Merging sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3 to / /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3/build-info/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3.ebuild: line 97: cd: /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3/work/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha3: No such file or directory * Ensuring that /dev/null and /dev/console exist on /dev --- /lib/ --- /lib/rcscripts/ --- /lib/rcscripts/awk/ >>> /lib/rcscripts/awk/functions.awk >>> /lib/rcscripts/awk/cachedepends.awk >>> /lib/rcscripts/awk/gendepends.awk >>> /lib/rcscripts/awk/genenviron.awk [...]
I have a fix or this locally - just waiting on feedback from Flameeyes when it runs through a catalyst build.
Fixed in alpha4
