Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2020-05-09 13:25:34 UTC
This is an auto-filled bug because app-admin/metalog fails to compile.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

Please provide explicit version. For me metalog-20200113-r1 builds just fine.

Cheers, Simon

But you’re right, this is an insane error and more info is needed. ago, is it reproducible?

Was this system genuinely able to build much at all? I doubt it.

Clearly, some misdirection is occurring.
