Bug 17475 – emerge svgalib failure...chown fun/plane: operation not permitted

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Chapon 2003-03-13 19:10:16 UTC]

I'm trying to emerge kde with the command:  
USE="cups" emerge kde  
  
Build went fine for hours, until an error when building svgalib-1.4.3-r4.  Two 
errors are displayed before the failure: 
 
1.  ... 
	chown 0 fun 
	chown: changing ownership of 'fun': Operation not permitted 
	make[1]: *** [fun] Error1 
	make[1]: Leaving directory 
		'/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.4.3-r4/work/svgalib-1.4.3/demos' 
	... 
 
2.	... 
	chown root plane 
	chown: changing ownership of 'plane': Operation not permitted 
	make[1]: *** [plane] Error 1 
	make[1]: Leaving directory 
	'/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.4.3-r4/work/svgalib-1.4.3/threeDKit' 
	make: *** [demoprogs] Error2 
	 
	!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.4.3-r4 failed. 
	!!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 2 
	!!! (no error message) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="cups" emerge kde 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
build fails 


Configuring the system.  Gentoo installed cleanly (.  X also installed 
properly and works.

svgalib failed, please assign to svgalib maintainer.

looks like a userpriv thing. 

for a quick fix, do FEATURES="-userpriv -usersandbox" emerge svgalib

i've checked in a fix for this if you re-sync your portage tree.
