Emerge GOCR fails reproducably (3 different systems; gcc unrelated; ebuild 0.3.4 and 0.3.6 and 0.3.6-r1): I suspect user right are incorrectly difined for the directories below: >>> Install gocr-0.3.6-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/gocr-0.3.6-r1/image/ category ap p-text /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: a: command not found strip: /var/tmp/portage/gocr-0.3.6-r1/image/usr/bin/gocr >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/gocr-0.3.6-r1/image/ --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-gocr-0.3.6-r1-6918.log" mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour mkdir: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public
the -r2 ebuild fixes this. please emerge unmerge gocr then emerge gocr.
Tested the -r2 ebuild, and got the exact same error message again. The strange thing is the ownership of all directories in /usr/share/texmf/fonts . bash-2.05a$ ls -l total 5 drwxr-xr-x 8 501 501 200 Jul 7 12:42 afm drwxr-xr-x 3 501 501 72 Jul 7 12:42 ofm drwxr-xr-x 3 501 501 72 Jul 7 12:42 ovf drwxr-xr-x 3 501 501 72 Jul 7 12:42 ovp drwxr-xr-x 3 501 501 72 Jul 7 12:42 pfm drwxr-xr-x 7 501 501 168 Jul 7 12:42 source drwxr-xr-x 12 501 501 296 Jul 7 12:42 tfm drwxr-xr-x 8 501 501 200 Jul 7 12:42 type1 drwxr-xr-x 9 501 501 216 Jul 7 12:42 vf bash-2.05a$ The "501" is causing the problem IMHO. I can create a directory /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk with "501" ownership by hand, and the script will; progress a bit further. But I couldn't complete the ebuild by making all directories by hand.
I have exactly same problem (and also with other packages where emerge can't create (open_wr) or update files in directories) -> PERMISSION DENYED despite that I use emerge in root.
I believe the problem may be related to TeX's default font permissions. Try using "texconfig fonts rw" to fix it. This should be in the ebuild -- I'll look into it.
