ERROR: net-analyzer/nmap-3.27 failed. !!! Function einstall, Line 327, Exitcode 2 !!! einstall failed I think I stopped it once in the middle of the ebuild. But it should still be able to install itself. I do that quite often (stopping packages in the middle of their build) and never had any problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nmap 2. stop in the middle of the emerge 3. emerge again Actual Results: installation can not be performed. werewindle /usr/portage/app-admin # emerge info Portage 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo// ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo// http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo http://www.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/gentoo.org/ ftp://ftp.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/pub/gentoo.org/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/init.d /etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 3dnow apm avi crypt gif jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex svga tcltk guile X sdl tcpd pam libwww perl python imlib oggvorbis gtk qt kde motif ldap scanner bonobo dvd encode -esd evo flash ggz gpm -gnome gphoto2 java libgda mozilla nas opengl oss usb cups alsa ssl quicktime" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j3" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache userpriv usersandbox"
um, how exactly did you STOP this?
With CONTROL-C.
Try removing the tmp files. It happened to me once. (rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/nmap-3.27) After that emerge again.
how did you 'resume' ? `emerge` or `ebuild` ?
re-open when you've posted more information for us
