Description Jeffrey Kornuta 2002-08-07 11:43:01 UTC

The sys-libs/db emerge breaks every time it tries to be installed, no matter
what version (3.x and 4.x). It configures and compiles fine, but when it is
being installed it breaks when cp tries to preserve permissions on the files.
Here's the error messages:

/bin/cp: preserving permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/db-3.2.9-r1/imag
e//usr/docs/foo': Invalid argument
make: *** [install_docs] Error 1

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_install, Line 4, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

Comment 1 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-08-07 17:03:31 UTC

This is a known bug with XFS, and has nothing to do with sys-libs/db.

Please use a different filesystem.
