Description Daniel Barkalow 2006-11-19 22:14:19 UTC

If I do something like PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=/sub ROOT=/sub emerge -avtD python, it tries to replace the python in the live system. This is a regression in the trunk (5088) since 2.1.1-r2.

This seems to happen when a circular dependancy into the live system reaches an ebuild specified for the target system on the command line.

This has been released in 2.1.2_rc2-r1.

Your make.conf/ROOT and --config-root features are also in there.
