Bug 267963 – emerge fail on touch after sys-apps/coreutils-7.1 upgrade

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Hultqvist 2009-04-30 09:34:58 UTC]

After upgrading to coreutils 7.1 emerge fail on every package I try to install with:
  touch: setting times of `/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2/.unpacked': Bad address

Trying to use touch gives:
  $ touch a
  touch: setting times of `a': Bad address


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Since portage now can't install anything I'm unable to up/downgrade anything.
Actual Results:  
Portage fail with the same type of error on every emerge attempt

Looks like it's time you built yourself a new kernel...

Sorry, that was unfair.
