Bug 347299 – emerge try to fetch package in not existing path

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Anton Smorodsky 2010-11-30 16:09:22 UTC]

Emerge failed because emerge try to save tar.gz file to path '/home/antons/1/PackageName.tar.gz' while '1' is file and not a folder . Problem reproduces for any package I try to emerge. 

Important note : After I delete this file emerge return to normal behavior to store packages in /usr/portage/distfiles/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to host via ssh with non root user
2. execute 'su' to became a root
3. execute 'emerge -aqv screen'  ( also I tried 'emerge -aqv tcpdump')
4. accept to emerge package

Actual Results:  
emerge will fail with errors http://paste.pocoo.org/show/298073/

Expected Results:  
emerge passed

my emerge --info http://paste.pocoo.org/show/298075/

Don't use a pastebin - it is not permanent, please attach emerge --info and the traceback in the bug here.

Please post/attach your info directly in the bug report rather than using paste services that may expire. Here's the traceback:

Do you have /home/antons/1 configured as a local mirror inside /etc/portage/mirrors? Apparently we need to verify that such mirrors are directories before trying to use them.

... you are right I have 'local /home/antons/1' record inside my '/etc/portage/mirrors'. But is very strange because I never edit this file ....

Anyway I think this record close the issue ...
Sorry for your wasted time :(
