On my x86 non-hardened system procps-3.3.[46] fail the tests "pgrep", "pkill" and "ps", saying: ============================================ ERROR: not a tty child process exited abnormally while executing "exec tty " invoked from within "set raw_tty [ exec tty ]" ============================================ The problem is that the tests all fork into /usr/bin/tty which calls a tty-specific ioctl() on fd 0. When compiling procps through emerge, fd 0 is redirected to (from?) /dev/null, so the ioctl() fails and so the whole test fails. What helps is commenting out lines 98-105 and 107-109 (plus a little re-indenting) in /usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/AbstractEbuildProcess.py (Portage 2.1.11.52), which prevents the fd 0 <> /dev/null redirect from happening (the one affected redirect, anyway). I'm leaving it up to you to decide whether to fix emerge or disable the three said tests in procps. I kinda know which it'll be, but maybe the stdin redirection happens to be something the portage devs are thinking of while on the bus, in which case this might be another drop into that bucket. Reproducible: Always
"I'm leaving it up to you to decide whether" ... huh? Sorry about that - lack of sleep or something.
I've encountered the same problem. emerge --info Portage 2.1.12.2 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.8.13-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.8.13-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i3-2100_CPU_@_3.10GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 4024012 total, 1114948 free KiB Swap: 1976500 total, 1976500 free Timestamp of tree: Wed, 03 Jul 2013 03:30:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p45 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.12-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.7.5, 3.2.3-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.10.2-r2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.11.8 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.6, 1.12.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.6.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r4 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.7 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.15-r3 Repositories: gentoo gamerlay eigenlay hasufell x-portage ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs collision-protect config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict test unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="nl_NL.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/gamerlay /var/lib/layman/eigenlay /var/lib/layman/hasufell /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa amd64 apng berkdb bzip2 cairo cegui cli consolekit corefonts cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus device-mapper dri egl extras ffmpeg flac fortran g3dvl gallium gdbm gdu gif gles gmp gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk3 gudev hddtemp hwdb iconv icu ipv6 jpeg kdrive keymap libkms libnotify lm_sensors logrotate lzma minizip mmx mng modules mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nsplugin ogg ogre opengl openmp openvg pam pcre png policykit python python3 qt3support r600-llvm-compiler readline sdl sensord session smpeg sqlite sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg tcpd theora threads thunar tiff truetype udev unicode upnp vdpau vorbis webp webphoto wxwidgets xcb xft xml xvfb zlib" ABI_X86="64" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" APACHE2_MODULES="authn_core authz_core socache_shmcb unixd actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump author" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" CURL_SSL="openssl" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" GRUB_PLATFORMS="pc efi-64" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" LINGUAS="nl" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19 ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600 vesa" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON
I'm only getting these failures with FEATURES=userpriv. Without it all tests pass.
this has been fixed upstream in 4050148a4533e8a79cef0d7dcd0c058d78c48a31 as they started hitting the same failures on their build farms :)
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
