• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

!!! Function einstall, Line 327, Exitcode 2 
!!! einstall failed 
 
I think I stopped it once in the middle of the ebuild. But it should still be able to 
install itself. I do that quite often (stopping packages in the middle of their build) 
and never had any problem. 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nmap 
2. stop in the middle of the emerge 
3. emerge again 
Actual Results:  
installation can not be performed.

um, how exactly did you STOP this?

[Comment 2 Philippe Fremy 2003-06-12 08:51:46 UTC]

With CONTROL-C. 
 
 

[Comment 3 Ricardo Loureiro 2003-06-12 19:05:42 UTC]

Try removing the tmp files. It happened to me once. (rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/nmap-3.27) After that emerge again.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2003-07-09 12:31:12 UTC]

how did you 'resume' ?  `emerge` or `ebuild` ?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2003-09-16 03:55:26 UTC]

re-open when you've posted more information for us
