Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-09 20:14:01 UTC 
qpkg failing hard with /bin/sh as real posix shell (dash in that case).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dash
2. cd /bin; rm sh -f; ln -s dash sh

Actual Results:  
# qpkg openbox
 - x11-wm/openbox-3.4.11.2: 0 kB
tar (child): /var/tmp/binpkgs/qpkg.USHdkt/bin.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: /var/tmp/binpkgs/qpkg.USHdkt/bin.tar.bz2: Cannot write: Broken pipe
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-01-10 09:35:14 UTC 
probably because qpkg.c executes tar with '&> /dev/null'
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-15 08:22:52 UTC 
I don't see the fix with the revisions you show SpanKY.
Any calls to system() are however a cause for a FIXME:

line 252?
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-01-16 01:23:38 UTC 
yes.  the new differ could probably do with a tweak to use a different color for unchanged lines, and a horizontal break in between hunks.
