• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description klavs klavsen 2004-05-23 14:40:35 UTC]

When running: emerge dev-perl/text-template I get this:

>>> Install text-template-1.44 into /var/tmp/portage/text-template-1.44/image/ category dev-perl
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Text

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------

:(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-perl/text-template
2. 
3.



Expected Results:  
It should have installed the package - instead it died, because the
install-script tries to go outside the sandbox :(

Please try upgrading to perl >=5.8.2 and/or ExtUtils-MakeMaker >=6.17. Older versions are broken sandbox wise. perl-5.8.2 and higher doesn't need ExtUtil-MakeMaker.

Anders covered it nicely. Any update on this?

upgr. ExtUtils to 6.21 - and now it works :)
