seems like a portage bug to me... Which portage version?
My portage version is 2.0.51_rc7
definetely seems like a portage bug to me
So, what I should be?
There have been 20 revisions of portage since 2.0.51_pre7. Please try and reproduce this with 2.0.51-r3 first.
I tried with portage-2.0.51-r3 and also with portage-2.0.51-r2 but I still have the same problem. I think that is the same problem also for other packages; for example: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../libgimpui-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_return_if_fail_warning' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [freetype] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-freetype-0.5/work/gimp-freetype-0.5/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-freetype-0.5/work/gimp-freetype-0.5' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: media-gfx/gimp-freetype-0.5 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 24, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) I continue having this error with the 3 portages I tried.
That's a completely different error.. something to do with the individual package. What we need to see is the traceback that happened the first time with a more recent portage for two reasons. The original bug may be just a transient thing that was broken and fixed during the _pre stage, and all the line numbers no longer match the code.
Old. No updates.
Very similar problem is described here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-328423-highlight-xorg+fails.html but it ends with xkb as opposed to xdm: =================================== IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/image//var/lib/xkb' ===================================
Searching for the info on the forums.. Still unable to reproduce this. :(
OK, I've added the info you asked for in the forum thread, but I am thinking if /var/lib/xkb is not a symlink does this mean that there is something wrong with my fs? (I had to move /var/tmp and /usr/lib to a new partition recently and there is always the possibility that tar/untar might have corrupted it?)
Jason, there's some more info in the forums, but I am not sure if it is relevant?
I've put some debugging stuff in portage-2.0.51.20-r5 that will trigger when this bug hits. Please have a go with that version.
Thanks Jason, I tried your portage-2.0.51.20-r5, which also pulled in sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.2 (I couldn't find the sanbox-1.2.3 at the mirrors).

Ok. It appears that in the install image, /usr/lib/xkb/compiled is a symlink to /var/lib/xkb and that on the file system /usr/lib/xkb/compiled is a regular file. Can you confirm that please?
OK, this is what I have here: ================================== # ls -la /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 29 20:34 /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled -> ../../../../var/lib/xkb # ls -la /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled ---------- 1 root root 0 Apr 17 20:08 /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled ================================== Me thinks that /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled should have *some* access rights . . . What's going on here?! -- Regards, Mick
How that file got there? I don't know. It's what is triggering the portage bug though. Specifically, the bug is when a symlink to a directory is blocked by a file. Removing that file should allow xorg-x11 to merge correctly. The question is, what should portage do about it? Remove the file?
I suspect that this is a corrupt file with incorrect access rights. It shouldn't be there and should have been removed as part of the emerge process. Emerging xorg probably fell apart when it found this corrupt file which did not have any access rights to allow portage to remove it. I am not sure that this is strictly speaking a bug, as we are not really talking about a 100% healthy fs. Now, if portage is meant to automatically 'heal' every sick boxen out there, I guess it would eventually get rather bloaty :P IMHO this would not be to the benefit of the greater gentoo good. For now, I am going to remove /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled and try to remerge xorg. Another thing I noticed with the last emerge is that file libGL.so.1 had not been installed by the time the emerge fell over. Any idea why not? Finally, is there a way of finding out all other corrupt files that might exist in my box - how do I grep them out? Thank you very much for your help! :D -- Regards, Mick
Thanks again Jason! It seems indeed that the culprit was a corrupt /usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled file which had *no* access rights and therefore could not be removed by portage as part of the xorg-x11 emerge process. After I deleted it manually, xorg emerged without further problems. Assuming that the original report on xdm causing the xorg emerge to fail is also caused by the same reason (corrupt access rights on files of the existing fs) this bug could be closed? -- Regards, Mick
Portage runs as root and will happily remove a file that has 0000 permissions. The issue occurs specifically when a a file is blocking the installation of a symlink that points to a directory. Until portage is smarter about how it installs things, the plan is to remove the blocking file when this situation occurs and continue installation.
Confirmed and fixed.
Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
