Bug 207838 – sys-apps/debianutils deletes /bin/mktemp

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Victor Roman Archidona 2008-01-28 05:27:42 UTC]

Hi,

doing an emerge -e system, coreutils-6.10 (~amd64) installed the mktemp binary as expected now. Due debianutils is installed after coreutils, it removes the /bin/mktemp binary causing serious problems (mostly with depscan).

This bug uses ~amd64, debianutils-2.28.2 and coreutils-6.10-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install coreutils and debianutils
2. OR emerge -e system.
3.

Actual Results:  
/bin/mktemp is removed causing serious problems.

Expected Results:  
/bin/mktemp untouched, leaving the coreutils versions on its place.

sys-apps/debianutils-2.28.2 doesn't install mktemp at all. Previous versions didn't install it either since sys-apps/mktemp is a separate ebuild (which blocks >=coreutils-6.10). 

So, you'll have to give us some working instructions how to reproduce your issue, the ones provided here don't work.

Hi,

I have done the following (dropping some output due it's not relevant):

machine ~ # mkdir /mnt/gentoo
machine ~ # tar xjpf stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo
machine ~ # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage
machine ~ # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
machine ~ # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
machine ~ # mount -o bind /usr/portage /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage
machine ~ # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc
machine ~ # cp -L /etc/make.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc
machine ~ # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
machine / # env-update
machine / # source /etc/profile
machine / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
(chroot) machine / # emerge --metadata

I updated some packages, first bash to avoid portage blocking when upgrading to latests ~keyworded:

(chroot) machine / # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="-* amd64" emerge bash

Now portage from 2.1.2.2 to 2.1.4. This also installed sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2, dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r5 and app-admin/python-updater-0.4.

(chroot) machine / # emerge portage

From here you can "emerge -e system" and got the error, OR reproduce it by hand. First I updated coreutils from 6.4 to 6.10-r1, this also installed sys-devel/automake-1.10.1 and app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.4:

(chroot) machine / # emerge coreutils
(chroot) machine / # hash -r

For consistency I checked that /bin/mktemp still exists: 

(chroot) machine / # ls -al /bin/mktemp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37136 ene 28 11:46 /bin/mktemp
(chroot) machine / #

Seems ok and the date is today. Is the version installed by coreutils.

Time to emerge debianutils before coreutils (this happens when using emerge -e system). It updates from 2.15-r1 to 2.28.2:

(chroot) machine / # emerge debianutils

And finally we got:

(chroot) machine / # ls -al /bin/mktemp
ls: cannot access /bin/mktemp: No such file or directory
(chroot) machine / # file /usr/bin/mktemp
/usr/bin/mktemp: broken symbolic link to `/bin/mktemp'
(chroot) machine / #


This is my emerge --info for reference:
(chroot) machine / # emerge --info

Eh, for debianutils-2.15-r1 we clearly don't have any fix, since the ebuild doesn't exist and was removed 8 months ago. It was also WONTFIXed ages ago. Sorry.
