Description Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-03-30 17:09:29 UTC

I get this when I emerge:

..
python: can't open file
'/var/tmp/portage-pkg/portage-1.8.9_pre38/inf/files/db-update.py'
!!! pkg_postinst() script failed; exiting.

Comment 1 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-03-30 17:12:12 UTC

Aha!  This only happens when I use the '--buildpkg' option.
