I can confirm this problem on x86 too.
I have not been able to reproduce this on a stable system. Are you both running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="" uncommented in make.conf?
Please add the build.log as an attachment to this bug report.
Created attachment 264189 [details] ebuild log file, gzipped My system is running all stable packages. Ebuild log is attached.
Your log shows it tried to find the file in "/var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/build.log" The ebuild expects the file to be in "${T}/build.log", which according to http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html should be... "${PORTAGE_BUILDDIR}/temp" = "/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp" I'm not sure why ${T} would expand to "/var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp"
In my case it looks in the correct directory but there is no build.log ... * Messages for package net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4: * QA Notice: file does not exist: * * dodoc: /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/build.log does not exist * ERROR: net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4 failed (install phase): * Failed to install support files * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 56: Called src_install * environment, line 2991: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * dodoc "${WORKDIR}/${PF}/config.log" "${T}/build.log" || die "Failed to install support files"; * root@swimmer /etc/portage % find /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4 -name 'build*' /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/work/snort-2.9.0.4/src/win32/WIN32-Prj/build_all.dsp /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/work/snort-2.9.0.4/src/win32/WIN32-Prj/build_releases.bat /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/work/snort-2.9.0.4/src/dynamic-preprocessors/build /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/work/snort-2.9.0.4/src/build.h /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/build-info
(In reply to comment #5) > I'm not sure why ${T} would expand to > "/var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp" My PORTAGE_TMPDIR is set to '/var/lib/portage/tmp'. This gives Portage its own mount point so that its work file requirements are isolated from all other applications. The logical volume is 8GiB in size. No ebuild should assume /var/tmp for PORTAGE_TMPDIR.
Created attachment 264195 [details] emerge --info I have attached my emerge --info details so that they are disambiguated from Stefan's posted earlier.
The ebuild does not assume "/var/tmp for PORTAGE_TMPDIR". The ebuild specifically uses ${T}. ~ # grep \/build.log /usr/portage/net-analyzer/snort/snort-2.9.0.4.ebuild "${T}/build.log" || die "Failed to install support files" ${T} will change if you make changes to the default portage directories. On my system I set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to the same thing you have and it still works fine for me. ~ # ls -l /var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/build.* -rw-rw---- 1 portage portage 222365 Feb 28 14:30 /var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/build.log I'm still not able to reproduce this issue. Where did you find the build.log you submitted? Was it in /var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/ or some other directory?

(In reply to comment #9) > The ebuild does not assume "/var/tmp for PORTAGE_TMPDIR". The ebuild > specifically uses ${T}. My statement was a generic one, not specific to this ebuild, and in reply to your comment #5. > Where did you find the build.log you submitted? Was it in > /var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/snort-2.9.0.4/temp/ It is not build.log, but the log of the ebuild processing. The original error report states that the build.log file cannot be found, during the "dodoc" processing. A manual check confirms its absence.
Stefan & David, What does "ls -l /usr/share/doc/snort-2.9.0.4/support/" show? To the @gentoo.org folks, Is there an option somewhere that would suppress the creation of build.log?
I don't see why these files (config.log and build.log) should be saved to ROOT at all. We only need them when src_{configure,compile}() fail, and in the default portage configuration those files would be preserved anyway. So removing that from the ebuild would certainly fix most cases. Other than that, $T/build.log is used _only_ if PORT_LOGDIR is not set. So the ebuild should not assume the file to be in $T.
Fixed without a revision bump by removing the offending insinto/dodoc. Thank you for reporting.
