The package sun-j2sdk-1.4.1 checks for free discspace in function pkg_setup. However the test is wrong for discs that have device filename that is long enough. The following test is used: df ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/ | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $4 }' examples from df-command $ df /var/tmp Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/discs/disc1/part3 2048216 467492 1580724 23% /var $ df -P /var/tmp Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/discs/disc1/part3 2048216 467568 1580648 23% /var Fix: add "-P" to df-command used in the check Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
and what if /var/tmp/portage is a separate partition?
Ok, I agree, Changed, closing bug
