Bug 331315 – Unable to install file-5.04 (gentoo prefix) files outside prefix env.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Niklas Johansson 2010-08-05 12:51:57 UTC]

I was unable to install file-5.04

To better read the log, my prefix is in echo $EPREFIX
/local/export/scratch/gentoo

here is the last part.

Maybe helpful,

From the error messages it tries to install files to
 * /scratch
 * /scratch/gentoo
 * /scratch/gentoo/usr
 * /scratch/gentoo/usr/lib
 * /scratch/gentoo/usr/lib/python2.6
 * /scratch/gentoo/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
 * /scratch/gentoo/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/magic.so

I know that there is a symlink on my system
   scratch -> /local/export/scratch/

And this is part of my EPREFIX "place"
   echo $EPREFIX
   /local/export/scratch/gentoo

[Comment 6 Niklas Johansson 2010-08-05 14:27:44 UTC]

I found the problem. I think I messed up during my creation of the prefix "system".

Clearly something is wrong,,

DISTDIR="/scratch/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles"
PKGDIR="/scratch/gentoo/usr/portage/packages"
PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/local/export/scratch/gentoo/"
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/scratch/gentoo/var/tmp"
PORTDIR="/scratch/gentoo/usr/portage"

SOrry for the mistake
