We maintain a set of gentoo-based images that are built by emerging a set of world packages in a directory (by setting ROOT=/path/to/image), then tar'ing up that directory afterward similar to the official stage3 images. These images have always contained `bind-tools` for client tools like dig/host/nslookup, but now that package has been folded up into the main bind package. We are now encountering an error that emerge fails for net-dns/bind in the pkg_postinst phase when ROOT != / with these errors: * Generating rndc.key /var/tmp/portage/net-dns/bind-9.18.29-r2/temp/environment: line 1235: /usr/sbin/rndc-confgen: No such file or directory chown: invalid group: ‘root:named’ It seems several changes might be needed to this ebuild to take ROOT/EROOT into account. Some suggestions reading through the code: * Determine if generating rndc.key during pkg_postinst() is appropriate. For our scenario, the random key would get generated while creating the OS image, so then ALL systems deployed from this image would have the same key. Not ideal. Perhaps pkg_config() is the better place to do this. * If pkg_postinst() is the correct phase to perform these actions: * Prefix all bare path references with ${ROOT} or ${EROOT} as appropriate. * Ensure that `rndc-confgen -a` will generate the key file at ${ROOT}/etc/bind/rndc.key rather than the build host's /etc/bind/rndc.key * Add acct-user/named and acct-group/named to BDEPEND and/or IDEPEND to ensure the `named` group exists on the system where pkg_postinst() is executing Reproducible: Always
Calling ${ROOT}/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen is really not a viable option. The binary may have been cross-compiled, or built against a different set of libraries in ${SYSROOT}.

Add EPREFIX to paths. Add proper quoting in pkg_postinst and pkg_config.
