when emerging armagetronad, the build looks OK, but just before installing, a script for uninstalling (which is of no use when we get a packaging system) is launched but is failing it's lying in /var/tmp/portage/games-action/armagetronad-0.2.8.3.1/image/usr/games/bin there is the script, and there are some files used to determine the files to uninstall : syl-gentoo bin #

Try this from command-line: EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-uninstall" emerge -av armagetronad Any difference? Also try wiping any configs from your homedir for armagetronad.
yes it works with EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-uninstall" emerge -av armagetronad thank you !
(In reply to comment #2) > yes it works with EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-uninstall" emerge -av armagetronad > > thank you ! > you should have not closed the bug yet... but nevermind (this time) + 10 Jul 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + armagetronad-0.2.8.3.1.ebuild: + Use --disable-uninstall in econf wrt #327687.
