Tying to emerge anything at all, this happens: laptop portage # emerge portage-2.0.14.ebuild Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge sys-apps/portage-2.0.14 to / Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_DENY environmental variable should be defined. Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_PREDICT environmental variable should be defined. ACCESS DENIED execve: /bin/rm Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_DENY environmental variable should be defined. Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_PREDICT environmental variable should be defined. ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.14 Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_DENY environmental variable should be defined. Sandbox error : the SANDBOX_PREDICT environmental variable should be defined. The last 3 lines (open_wr etc.) are repeated infinitely at great speed until ctrl+c. I didn't try to wait and see if it'd end but it repeated them a fw hundred times. With sandbox turned off it works ok. [00:33:42] <drobbins> danarmak: and post a bug for me? [00:34:02] <danarmak> works with sandbox off [00:34:06] <drobbins> I was testing it with the sandbox off; I probably am making a sandox-enabled call where I should turn it off.
I can't duplicate this problem, so I'm going to need to ask you some more in-depth questions to see if I can figure out what is going on.
New sandbox should fix this... in 2.0.34, probably much earlier.
