Description Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-26 07:02:01 UTC 
Just managed to debug this.
TMP is a dir inside the ${D}  , exported by portage.


This means that the temp dir inside the "clamassassin" ebuild is a path inside /var/tmp/portage/clamassassin-${VER}/temp  ,  Which doesn't always exist as writable by anyone, and therefore causes dataloss.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
