guessing you're using dash-0.5.6.* (In reply to comment #1) > guessing you're using dash-0.5.6.* > I've tested this with dash-0.5.5.1.2 and right now with dash-0.5.5.1.7. There's no newer version in portage. The git logs show that from 0.5.5.1 to 0.5.5.6 there have been 2 fixes in the eval part and further 5 from there to current git. So it might already be fixed. configure should have re-executed itself with /bin/bash when using dash-0.5.5 as /bin/sh. with dash-0.5.6, it wouldnt have, and you'd hit this error. are you setting/exporting CONFIG_SHELL at all ? run `emerge --info --verbose` and post that as an attachment.

Your're right there was no CONFIG_SHELL set, I didn't even know about it. If I set it to /bin/bash in make.conf portage calls all configure scripts with /bin/bash.
The point by linking /bin/sh to /bin/dash was to speed up things like configure. So what's the actual problem?
1) Dash being buggy/incomplete
2) sys-apps/attr using bash-ism in configure while pretending not to do it
3) me for linking /bin/sh to /bin/dash which is evil by definition
i cant reproduce here.
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 21 21:54 /bin/sh -> dash
$ qlist -I -v dash
app-shells/dash-0.5.5.1.7
$ ebuild attr-2.4.44.ebuild clean unpack prepare configure compile
<works fine>
$ grep CONFIG_SHELL /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/attr-2.4.44/work/attr-2.4.44/config.status
SHELL=${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/bash}
$as_echo "running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash $*" >&6
CONFIG_SHELL='/bin/bash'
export CONFIG_SHELL
I just unmasked sys-apps/attr-2.4.44 and the emerge went fine. So what about making 2.4.44 stable and drop 2.4.43? sorry, missed you were using .43. ive filed a stable request for .44. |
