Bug 23524 – if working dir is removed while portage is emerging, config scan freaks out

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description SpanKY 2003-06-26 05:44:36 UTC]

so i was testing out a new app, wmfortune ...
i was in /usr/local/portage/x11-plugins/wmfortune/ when i issued `emerge wmfortune`
when i saw the src_install phase finish i went to go add the package to cvs in
another session while the emerge finished its '>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...'

so i did this:
mv /usr/local/portage/x11-plugins/wmfortune/ /usr/local/gentoo-x86/x11-plugins/

back in the original session the regen of the cache finished but then it needed
to scan to see if any config files needed updating ... heres what i see:
 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
 * IMPORTANT: 16 config files in /etc need updating.
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
 * IMPORTANT: 16 config files in /var/qmail/control need updating.
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
