[Comment 3 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-12-26 12:15:21 UTC]

please post a log of the emerge process

[Comment 4 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-12-27 03:24:31 UTC]

Yes, give us the output of emerge when you try to emerge it.
I can't reproduce this over here.

[Comment 5 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) 2003-12-30 08:37:10 UTC]

Created attachment 22853 [details]
a log of the failed apcupsd emerge. its BIG

[Comment 6 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 16:13:56 UTC]

Try to merge it without snmp in USE.
See #36867 which describes the same problem.

[Comment 7 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-02 16:59:05 UTC]

...better try out the new ebuild for 3.10.8.
It includes a fix for this issue (means it should now work as intended).
Please test and give feedback.

[Comment 8 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-07 16:05:46 UTC]

Could you please give me some feedback?

[Comment 9 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) 2004-01-07 16:51:42 UTC]

[Comment 10 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-10 01:49:43 UTC]

that's ok, i just wanted to get some feedback

[Comment 11 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-27 07:01:15 UTC]

any news on this?

[Comment 12 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) 2004-01-27 10:37:13 UTC]

bingo, its the snmp USE flag in make.conf thats causing some odd no-files-created error. take it out of the USE variable, and it emerges as it should. tantive, ping me on -dev about this.

[Comment 13 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2004-01-27 13:00:35 UTC]

maked .9 as stable.

Thanks for your help!
And welcome btw ;)
