Created attachment 385514 [details] patch to fix the wait In all_ruby_prepare() a file name "metadata" is to be deleted. The file has only read permissions for user, group and others, thus the user is asked if that's alright. There is no indication what the user should do, the ebuild seemingly stops --- never mind, that an ebuild should go through without user interaction. I assume the same goes for polyglot-0.3.4, but I did not verify that.
Lots of ebuilds call `rm' and this particular ebuild isn't special. If you have an alias set up for rm, that is probably the cause of this problem. 1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Please explain where this --interactive rm call originates.
Comment on attachment 385514 [details] patch to fix the wait As said, "fixing" every last ebuild in the tree is not the solution. Your problem is local.
Sorry, I probably wasn't explicit enough. I am pretty sure the problem lies within the compressed package and is not "local". But before I explain some more, here is my 'emerge --info' first, though I use Paludis: Portage 2.2.8-r1 (hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.19-r1, 3.15.8-hardened-server04 x86_64)

metadata.gz And no, I have no alias on 'rm'. You could fix the problem also with a # chmod u+w metadata before the 'rm' command in the ebuild instead of changing that to "rm -f" -- which might show, that it is not local ... I think it's standard behaviour of rm to ask if the file is read-only.
Oh, so it's like this: ~/portage/dev-ruby/polyglot-0.3.5/work/all # rm metadata rm: remove write-protected regular file ‘metadata’? y In that case, paludis should stop commands from going interactive.
(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #4) > Oh, so it's like this: > ~/portage/dev-ruby/polyglot-0.3.5/work/all # rm metadata > rm: remove write-protected regular file ‘metadata’? y It kinda is; without the prompt. Probably because stderr is redirected. > In that case, paludis should stop commands from going interactive. Hmm, I see. I can try it with a Paludis bug report, but I have the slight feeling that I might get told it's an ebuild-defect. I am using Paludis for about four years now, and it's the first ebuild that displayed that behaviour. The usage of "-f" is not that unusual in an ebuild: # egrep -r 'rm (.* )?-[a-eg-zA-Z]*f' /usr/portage/ | grep \.ebuild | wc -l 7028 We'll see. Thanks for your time.
