Bug 304911 – www-client/chromium-5.0.307.7 builds but has an odd failure message

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) 2010-02-13 17:44:58 UTC]

It would seem that Chromium actually builds and installs correctly (as it is the version showing up in the "About" menu of the application), but there is an odd die message at the end of the compilation.


>>> Original instance of package unmerged safely.

 * Messages for package www-client/chromium-5.0.307.7:

 * ERROR: www-client/chromium-5.0.307.7 failed:
 *   compilation failed
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  54:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 2607:  Called die

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Keyword Chromium (if running stable)
2. emerge chromium
3. Builds successfully (or so it would seem), but the die message appears.

Actual Results:  
Die message appears after the original instance was unmerged successfully.

Expected Results:  
Should install correctly, and produce no error message.

You are confused by --keep-going and the echo ELOG features which makes the messages re-appear upon emerge has finished the rest of its job. chrome has clearly failed to recompile for you. The "Original instance of package unmerged safely." referrs to last successful package in the list, not to www-client/chromium-5.0.307.7 ;)

Nathan, are you able to obtain the build log? Does chromium really fail to build, or is it some unstable portage weirdness?

After having just updated to 5.0.307.11, there were no more odd die messages at the end of the compilation.  It would seem that this was either a fluke, or has been fixed with this newer version of the ebuild.  I will close this bug for now, unless someone else has further information.
