I have several <VirtualHost> sections in my apache config. Most of these have document roots outside /home/httpd/htdocs. When I install phpmyadmin, or upgrade an existing install, I get these errors during the emerge: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.3-r1 to / chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1_old/htdocs': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client2': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1_old/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client2': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1/htdocs': No such file or directory >>> md5 src_uri ;-) phpMyAdmin-2.5.3-php.tar.bz2 chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1_old/htdocs': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client2': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs': No such file or directory chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1_old/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client2': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/phpmyadmin-2.5. 3-r1/image//home/allym/projects/client1/htdocs': No such file or directory * Installing into //home/httpd/htdocs /home/allym/projects/client1_old/htdocs /home/allym/projects/client2 /home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs /home/allym/projects/client1/htdocs.

A sample section from the apache config is: <VirtualHost wiki> DocumentRoot /home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/htdocs ServerName wiki ServerAlias wiki ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ /home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/bin/ SetEnv WIKIWEBMASTER=hmm@spamme.com SetEnv SMTPMAILHOST=localhost SetEnv SMTPSENDERHOST=hmm.spamme.com <Directory /home/allym/projects/wiki/twiki/bin> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add virtualhost setting to apache similar to above and restart apache 2. emerge phpmyadmin 3. To workaround, back up your apache.conf, edit the real one, remove any virtualhost settings, emerge phpmyadmin, and copy your good apache.conf back. There is no need to restart apache, just change the config file for the duration of the install. Actual Results: Error as reported above Expected Results: ignored all <virutalhost> sections and only installed in the default host, or installed itself in the first <virtualhost> section.
