Checking for status. I am almost ready to make the four hour drive to go and rebuild this box from scratch. please advise if you have any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* first. If that's no good, try a portage binary (instructions at /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE) If neither of those work... From the shell as root, what happens when you execute the following? # APACHE_EBUILD="/usr/portage/net-www/apache/apache-2.0.49-r3.ebuild" # ebuild $(APACHE_EBUILD) unpack # ebuild $(APACHE_EBUILD) compile # ebuild $(APACHE_EBUILD) install # ebuild $(APACHE_EBUILD) merge
Old and the reason was probably a missing sandbox.
i was able to reproduce this ... basically it's either a problem with your bash and/or sandbox ... if something is causing bash+sandbox to segfault, you'll see this odd output ... check dmesg and try running `/usr/lib/portage/bin/sandbox` ... if sandbox exits without starting up a shell, then it's because the combination is segfaulting
