Bug 83046 – Sandbox violation during emerge of MYTHTV: ACCESS DENIED ERROR

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Canada 2005-02-23 02:20:36 UTC]

When I attempt to emerge mythtv, I get a sandbox violation, the sandbox refers to the way gentoo keeps compiles completely self-contained and doesn't allow them to access stuff on the main system. What's happening in this case is that the compile is trying to reach outside the sandbox and gentoo is laying the smack down hard on it

Example:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/var/tmp//portage/mythtv-0.17/image/../../../../../../../share': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install_themes] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/var/tmp/portage/mythtv-0.17/work/mythtv-0.17/themes'
( [ -d setup ] && cd setup ; make -f Makefile install; ) || true
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/var/tmp/portage/mythtv-0.17/work/mythtv-0.17/setup'
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /share


You can override the sandbox if you want (FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge blah) but it's not a good habit to get into

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mythtv as root with sandbox enabled (this is the default)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Failed compile!

Expected Results:  
Successfule compile!

ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY

Here is the access log summary

[Comment 2 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2005-02-23 10:18:39 UTC]

Looks like an issue with PORTAGE_TMPDIR being set.

[Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2005-05-15 22:54:36 UTC]

Please re-try with newer version of Portage and of 0.18-r* of the ebuild.

Sorry if I wake a zombie here, but: Can this be closed? The days of mythtv-0.17 and 0.18 are loooong gone ...
