When emerging postgresql (7.2.1-r1) all goes well until the init of database part. It creates all directorys, the template and configuration files. Then it fails at "initializing pg_shadow..." Error is at follows: "/usr/bin/initdb: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied"
Christian: Is this still an issue?
As far as I know it still is an issue. I haven't got any system to try out on.
try a rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql and the remerge.... Careful, this will probably hose your databases if they are there.
