Bug 5260 – nmap ebuild fails / sandbox issue?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Styne 2002-07-19 14:55:23 UTC]

An emerge of nmap fails unexpectedly with the output below
These results are reproduceable on two systems. A temporary workaround is to
execute:

#FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge nmap

OUTPUT FOLLOWS:

>>> Install nmap-2.54_beta36 into /var/tmp/portage/nmap-2.54_beta36/image/
category net-analyzer
