I can confirm this:

<<< dir /usr/share/doc/memtest86+-2.11
--- !empty dir /usr/share/doc
--- !empty dir /usr/share
--- !empty dir /usr
<<< dir /boot
Another problem is that all files residing in the real /boot partition weren't unmerged.
Adding a ".keep" file into the unmounted /boot directory prevents the deletion of the /boot mount point.

This happens due to the mount-boot.eclass not having a pkg_postrm function mounting /boot like the pkg_preinst function of that eclass already does... Created attachment 195022 [details, diff]
mount-boot.eclass.diff
How about this possible fix?
*** Bug 288351 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** am i the first who believes portage should not mount or unmount anything but fail with an error and a hint to mount manually? what if there's a different partition behind it now? baselayout should already handle installing of a .keep files, but sometimes the .keep file ends up in the mounted partition (or people delete things as they're creating the sep partition). this isnt a bug in the mount-boot eclass as even if it werent in use, things installing into unmounted /boot would trigger the same exact problem. should be easy to workaround in the eclass using Lars' fix as a base http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/mount-boot.eclass?r1=1.16&r2=1.17 "should be easy to workaround" doesn't really sounds like fixed!? |
