Bug 156994 – spca5xx and gspcav1 sandbox violation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Marti Raudsepp 2006-12-03 08:12:41 UTC]

Both, the spca5xx and gspcav1 ebuilds (which are drivers for the same USB webcam chip) seem to cause sandbox violations with recent versions of kernel sources. I'm not the only person hitting this bug, see: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-511473.html

I'm using amd64 arch and the other person appears to be using i686; my kernel is 2.6.18-mm3, theirs is 2.6.19-rc2.

There is a temporary workaround to use FEATURES='-sandbox -usersandbox userpriv' -- by disabling the sandbox and using userpriv, the compilation process simply gets permission denied errors and handles those gracefully, instead of failing with sandbox violations.

Here are emerge outputs:

Please, search. This is fixed in latest Gentoo sources; we are not patching unsupported kernels.

I searched for 'spca' and 'gspcav1', and neither yielded bug 149307. I have to complain that the Bugzilla search function is very complex and uncooperative. :(
