elogs in tar.bz2 format
These are the elogs emerge was processing from my last successful use of /dev/null as a user up to the moment I noticed the bug:

This is where I noticed /dev/null had changed mode. I changed the mode, then I tried rerunning some of these ebuilds, those likely to touch /dev/null, but its mode didn't change again. Those were me rebuilds trying to reproduce the problem:

Well, then reopen once you find out what's causing this. Thanks. This happens when installing mysql. Before I emerge MySQL: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 13 11:19 /dev/null # And after # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1, 3 Feb 13 11:19 /dev/null # , which causes warnings in SSH, etc, etc. Inconvenient - not a show stopper for me, but worth fixing. |
