Bug 24942 – "emerge transfig" failed during build

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

like the problem is that a call to "mkdir" is missing -p


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge rsync
2.emerge transfig


Actual Results:

I can't reproduce your problem. Could you please add the complete emerge output and the emerge info output as attachments?

Created attachment 14801 [details]
output of "emerge transfig" and "emerge info"

somehow I didn't get a mail for your last comment...

Sorry for the long delay. Please emerge sync; emerge -u portage - this will most likely fix your problem. Please report if it helped.

Yes, it works now after updating portage.  Thanks Patrick, sorry about the false alarm.

Ok, closing.
