Description Guy Van Sanden 2003-12-27 06:09:19 UTC 
The dev-util/cvs-1.11.11 ebuild install fails (resulting in a lock in the package database), because it can not write to /home (which is an NFS mount).
I do not know what it wants to write there.

>>> /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cvs-format.el!!! Cannot write to '/home'.!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.!!! You may start the merge process again by using ebuild:!!! ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/cvs/cvs-1.11.11.ebuild merge!!! And finish by running this: env-update

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount an NFS share on /home
2. install the Ebuild


Actual Results:  
>>> /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cvs-format.el!!! Cannot write to '/home'.!!! 

Expected Results:  
It should not need to write anything in /home

resync and merge it again, the cvs home directory was moved out of home some time ago, see bug 36142.
Comment 2 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-27 08:38:22 UTC 
it was changed because of NFS mounted /home directories a week ago.
