Bug 39572 – media-sound/rosegarden has sandbox violations on /usr/qt/3/settings

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description ferret 2004-01-27 09:11:52 UTC]

Near the end of the emerge, there are lines like this:

ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/qt/3/etc/settings
QSettings::sync: failed to open '/root/.qt/qt_plugins_3.2rc.tmp' for writing

Obviously I can get around it with

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge rosegarden

But the fact remains this shouldn't happen, of course :)

(Please note that I'm reporting this on behalf of someone else in #gentoo)

This is caused because you don't have an /usr/qt/3/etc/settings directory.  The newer ebuilds now create it, but older ones didnt.

You can either make the directory by hand or emerge a new version of Qt.

nope, that just shifts the access violation to:
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.2rc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.2rc.tmp

Try adding the line:

addwrite ${QTDIR}/etc/settings

in the src_compile portion of the ebuild.

I couldn't test this yet, but I think that a similar fix as in 
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dev-db/tora/tora-1.3.13.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
could solve this.

Part of an emerge log.

Do have same bug, like the other person.

[Comment 7 Georg Sahli 2004-02-24 13:08:10 UTC]

This QT version I do have installed:

emerge qt --pretend

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.0-r1

sandbox errors fixed now.
