Bug 14550 – Postfix 2.0.2 update/patch problem

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Simon Branton-Housley 2003-01-25 16:33:42 UTC]

when emerging postfix-2.0.2-r1 from 1.1.11.20020917, I get an error on this file
pfixtls-0.8.13-2.0.1-0.9.7.tar.gz

I saw tht it could not create a /root/.tmp/ file, so I symlinked a .tmp to the
/tmp directory.  Still no luck.

please paste
#emerge info

do you emerge as root ?

rsync once again and try again

[Comment 2 Simon Branton-Housley 2003-01-25 17:48:29 UTC]

emerge info is as follows:

I emerge as su - root from normal user.  I have rsync'ed and am still recieving
the same error

[Comment 4 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-01-26 04:23:56 UTC]

emerge -pu world --deep

does this print any compiler releated or diffutils thing to update `?

[Comment 5 Simon Branton-Housley 2003-01-26 13:16:52 UTC]

OK, after much digging, I found out what the problem was.  
I had put this line in my .bash_profile:
export TMPDIR="$HOME/.tmp"

So, anything that was attempted to emerge (just happened to be postfix 2) could not.
Once this line was commented out, It emerged just fine.
