Bug 47158 – nagios-core-1.2 ebuild will not emerge on another system after being created as a tbz2 package

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Darren Spruell 2004-04-07 16:24:19 UTC]

Trying to install on one the package created by running "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge nagios-core -b" on another server fails when using PORTAGE_BINHOST and "emerge -gk" from the target server. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nagios-core-1.2 using -b on one host.
2. Publish out the packages via HTTP so that the host can function as a server for PORTAGE_BINHOST
3. Set PORTAGE_BINHOST on another server and use "emerge -gkvp" from that host to emerge the package from the remote build server.
4. Watch as it errors out.

Actual Results:  
The following errors occur:

The failure of portage to create the user and group needed by this package has
already been addressed (and still pending, currently) in Bug #25152.  The error
that looks like the prefix being appended to another path is new to me.

Expected Results:  
nagios-core-1.2 should have emerged cleanly as a package ebuild, the same way
that it emerged as a source ebuild on the original server.
