Bug 384943 – www-client/firefox: fails to build with pgo useflag when gnome-vfs is installed: Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/var/tmp/portage/.gnome2/': No such file or directory

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description K. Posern 2011-09-29 14:43:27 UTC]

Build of firefox-7.0 fails - see attachments.
Up until firefox-6.0.2 everython always compiled fine for me. 

Where does this automation.py script come from? Is this part of emerge?

I could need a hint here.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -auvtDNq firefox
2.
3.

.... ah sorry, I had another look and now I understand: It is the gpo useflag that leads to this call via profileserver.py and this fails because of the missing .gconf directory for the - I guess - "portage" user... 

obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/_profile/pgo/profileserver.py
args:
['/mnt/gentoo.build/portage/www-client/firefox-7.0/work/mozilla-release/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dist/firefox/firefox-bin',

-client/firefox-7.0/work/mozilla-release/obj-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/_profile/pgo/pgoprofile/',

gpo useflag == pgo useflag ;)

[Comment 10 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) 2012-01-28 05:07:40 UTC]

This is because you folks have gnome-vfs installed. Depending on your FEATURES settings, it will use /var/tmp/portage/.gnome2/ or /root/.gnome2/ . I've added gnome2_environment_reset to firefox-9.0, please try that and tell me if it fixes the issue. Thanks!

One month with no comments, closing needinfo.

[Comment 12 Alastair Murray 2012-03-05 00:48:06 UTC]

I can't comment on versions 7-9 but version 10.0.1 compiles with pgo when version 7.0 wouldn't.
