When I try to emerge any ebuild I get: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) x11-terms/rxvt-2.7.8-r6 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) rxvt-2.7.8.tar.gz >>> /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp file mode: r+ open: Text file busy >>> pids file write: Illegal seek I updated to 2.0.48-r3 when emerge said it was available and didn't notice any problems until this error came up today. Already tried emerge sync and deleting /usr/portage and emerge sync again, didn't help. Followed the instructions in README.RESCUE, still same problem. File system check showed nothing.

Looks like some process is eating it. Do a "fuser /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp"; then do a "ps -ef" and trace the ID given by fuser to the process list. Dump both here.
Do an strace as well. If you can't emerge it, get a binary version...
Need a response to help with this one.
"fuser /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp" returns nothing. straceing turnd out to be a bit more difficult with all the subprocesses involved. "strace -ff -o emerge rxvt" produces a lot of files, but only one of them appears to be relevant here. Not sure though what causes the error, but it looks like there are two errors, one in the open call and another one in the 2 _llseek calls. open("/tmp/sandboxpids.tmp", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = -1 ETXTBSY (Text file busy) dup(2) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 3), ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40013000 _llseek(3, 0, 0xbfffb660, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, ">>> /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp file mo"..., 60) = 60 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x40013000, 4096) = 0 dup(2) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 3), ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40013000 _llseek(3, 0, 0xbfffb790, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, ">>> pids file write: Illegal see"..., 34) = 34 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x40013000, 4096) = 0 _exit(1) = ? --
