During the installation phase of baselayout-1.8.6.11 the ebuild produces many occurances of the following two errors: //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found chown: `root.root': invalid user The second one has evidently a wrong syntax. It should be root:root. Here the interesting part of emerge's output: >>> Install baselayout-1.8.6.11 into /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.11/image/ category sys-apps chown: `root.uucp': invalid user * Installing utilities... install -m 0755 -d /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.11/image//bin install -m 0755 -d /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.11/image//sbin install -m 0755 consoletype runscript start-stop-daemon /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.11/image//sbin * Installing sysvinit... * Making device nodes (this could take a minute or so...) * Using generic-i386 to make device nodes... //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found chown: `root.root': invalid user //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found chown: `root.root': invalid user //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found chown: `root.root': invalid user //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found chown: `root.root': invalid user //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found man: gzipping man page: .keep gzipping man page: .keep info: gzipping GNU info page: .keep prepallstrip: strip: strip: bin/last bin/mesg bin/wall bin/utmpdump #

coreutils-5.0.91 have chown problems - could you try with coreutils-5.0 and try to remerge baselayout again ?
I replaced coreutils-5.0.91 with coreutils-5.0-r4.

Created attachment 19290 [details, diff] baselayout-1.8.6.11-MAKEDEV.patch Might be a quoting problem, or it could be the same as another bug. Could you try to apply this to the ebuild, and try again ?
Without the patch I get this: * Using generic-i386 to make device nodes... //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_ircomm%d=161: command not found etc...

I applied the patch. The outcome is similar to that of Hagar. With the patch the error message changed from //sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found to /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.11/image//sbin/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=254: command not found The error message seems to be generated by line 169 in MAKEDEV: eval "major_$device=$major" If I comment this line out, the error message vanishes.
Ok, and if you change the interpreter for MAKEDEV to /bin/bash ? (#!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash) ?
Changing the interpreter changed nothing. But it seems to be some nasty shell syntax thing: Typing the following into a sh/bash does result in the same error: # device=device-mapper # major=254 # eval major_$device=$major -bash: major_device-mapper=254: command not found But # echo major_$device=$major major_device-mapper=254 The problem here seems to be the "-" in the variable name: # foo-bar=123 -bash: foo-bar=123: command not found I have no idea how to fix this.
Does this seem to be related to bug 78018 in Debian's bugzilla? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=78018 The error message there looks exactly like the one from Hagar and similar to the one I have.
So does below patch fixes it? ---- Index: sbin/MAKEDEV =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/sbin/MAKEDEV,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -r1.5 MAKEDEV --- sbin/MAKEDEV 16 Oct 2003 22:39:16 -0000 1.5 +++ sbin/MAKEDEV 27 Oct 2003 19:00:57 -0000 @@ -180,7 +180,7 @@ then echo -1 # don't care else - eval echo \${major_$1:-\${device:?\"unknown major number for $1\"}} + eval echo \${major_${1}:-\${device:?\"unknown major number for ${1}\"}} fi }
Unfortunately your patch did not changed anything. I found a discussion on the web where there was once a built error for glibc because the build script used somewhere dashes in variable names. The fix was to not use any dash in bash variables (I looks like dashes were allowed in older bash versions). So it looks like the dash ("-") is no valid character for a bash variable. See the definition of `name' in POSIX.2, section 2.2.2.105. This a fix would be to replace the dash with something else or just to cut it. I wrote a small patch for MAKEDEV which replaces dashes with underscores in all 3 occurences of major_$device. It silenses those errors but I am not sure if it doesn't break anything. It works here, but that means nothing. I also looked at MAKEDEV from Fedora/Rawhide but they don't use a shell script for MAKEDEV so I suppose they don't have this problem at all.
Created attachment 19881 [details, diff] Patch to eliminate dashes in device names Added a patch to replace "-" with "_" in device-names to have valid bash variable names.
What about this one: -- Major () { device=$2 if [ "$opt_d" ] then echo -1 # don't care else eval echo \${major_$1:-\${device:?\"unknown major number for $1\"}} fi } -- otherwise it looks good ...
Created attachment 19964 [details, diff] Patch to eliminate dashes in device names Yes, you're right. I've forgotten the one in Major(). I updated the patch to include this occurence too.
Ok, fixed in CVS already, thanks. -- ChangeLog -- 29 Oct 2003; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: We should not use '-' in variable names for bash, bug #31184, thanks to Andreas Simon <yuipx@gmx.net>.
