Bug 16575 – using sandbox and/or usersandbox halts ebuild in unpacking stage

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jan Wuyts 2003-02-28 13:58:46 UTC]

After emerging portage-2.0.47-r7 I can no longer emerge ebuilds. Portage just
hangs in the unpacking stage (without using any CPU time).
After removing "sandbox" and "usersandbox" from the FEATURES in make.conf it
worked. More info on the forums (see above URL).
I don't know if it was sandbox or usersandbox causing the problem but it seemed
to make sense to try removing them both.
Greetings,

Jan.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.update portage and do everything it asks
2.emerge any ebuild
3.

Actual Results:  
$ emerge -u wireless-tools
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/wireless-tools-24 to /
>>> md5 ;-) wireless_tools.24.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking wireless_tools.24.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/wireless-tools-24/work 

and then nothing happens

Is this a problem still in -r10?

[Comment 2 Jan Wuyts 2003-03-27 17:01:45 UTC]

Yes, it still gives this problem with portage-r10
I have learned from the gentoo-ppc forums that this is a well know problem on ppc.

could you tell me your glibc version please?

emerge info would do

Oops, I replied to your mail but it seems to have gotten lost somewere
emerge info:

still an issue ?

[Comment 6 Jan Wuyts 2004-02-05 00:04:57 UTC]

portage is now at 2.0.49-r21
Apparently it does even less now if sandbox and usersandbox are enabled:

$ emerge  wireless-tools
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/wireless-tools-26 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) wireless_tools.26.tar.gz

and there it keeps idling

[Comment 7 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2004-08-10 23:25:08 UTC]

Don't spose anyone can give some feedback on what it actually is doing while idling...

[Comment 8 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2005-02-27 22:24:44 UTC]

Slapping this invalid, no further confirmation/info on it...

Can't duplicate this, and it's god awful old.
