Bug 49865 – emerge fung-calc fails with numerous "ACCESS DENIED" errors

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andy herrman 2004-05-03 10:37:46 UTC]

When trying to emerge fung-calc I get a huge number of errors similar to the following:
ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
By the time the emerge fails I have a number of pages of this error.
I think the filename in all the errors is the same 2 files ( /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock and /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp), but there are so many that I'm not sure.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. su to root
2. emerge fung-calc

Actual Results:  
It compiles, spitting out pages of the ACCESS DENIED error.  When the
compilation is done it prints out the filenames the error occurred on man times,
then displays a red "-----------------------" accross the screen and the
computer beeps a couple times.
Checking emerge -pv fung-calc shows that it has not actually been emerged.

Expected Results:  
It should have emerged fung-calc

One shabby fix would be to disable sandbox - FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge fung-calc. This may cause problems, and I disclaim any responsibility whatsoever when something bad happens :)

fung-calc probably just breaks with qt-3.3, so I guess all you can do is to wait till something happens in its development. Maybe the ebuild should DEPEND on >=x11-libs/qt-3.1* instead?

Well-known problem... fixed, thanks.
