Description Markus Wernig 2016-07-03 23:52:45 UTC
Emerging sys-apps/baselayout-2.2-r1 results in an error if /usr/local/lib is a directory.

Since many applications (probably not the ones installed via emerge) install stuff there, this directory is more than likely to exist (it does here, with files from about 10 programs compiled separately).

Since I don't know how to split the files there into a multilib layout, this blocks all further updates.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an application compiled from source that installs files into /usr/local/lib
2. run emerge -DuNav world
3.

Comment 1 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2016-07-07 16:51:35 UTC
The easiest way to do this conversion is the following, as root:

# cd /usr/local
# mv lib lib64
# ln -snf lib64 lib

This is set up like this by default with baselayout-2.2, so I'm not sure
why your system isn't set up this way.

Thanks for the update!

Both lib and lib64 existed as directories under /usr/local:

# ls -l /usr/local
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 25  2015 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 25  2015 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan  7  2016 lib64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 13:31 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 25  2015 share

/usr/local/lib64 was empty, though.

I removed it and set up the symlink manually.

There were some libs from locally installed programs in /usr/local/lib. Fortunately, all of them were 64bit libs.

So this is now WORKSFORME.
