Bug 266697 – sys-apps/sandbox-1.6-r2 fails ebuild test when upgrading from sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Portage Development

[Description T Chan 2009-04-18 21:06:44 UTC]

Using FEATURES=-sandbox works. Subsequent re-emerging works. Not sure about intermediate versions, since they're all masked.

Steps to reproduce:
1. emerge -1 =sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2
2. ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.6-r2.ebuild test

FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict test unmerge-orphans userfetch"

<sandbox-1.3 has known problems with recursive testing.  not much i can do about it.

Adding a note in the failure message would help. It currently says
 * If configure failed with a 'cannot run C compiled programs' error, try this:
* FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox

configure obviously didn't fail, but FEATURES=-sandbox still helped.

If "FEATURES=-sandbox" is insufficient, you may be using usersandbox and need to drop that as well. That worked for me:

FEATURES="-sandbox -usersandbox" emerge sandbox
