Bug 47887 – Can't merge net-im/sim-0.9.3-r2: sanbox access violation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nick Demchenko 2004-04-15 00:54:45 UTC]

Trying to emerge net-im/sim-0.9.3-r2 I get a message saying access violation

This is the exactlog message (over 1k lines of the same messages as shown here, so can't paste the entire log from the beginning):

open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qtrc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock

Note: I've trimmed the above log to show what files are affected, the same takes over 1k lines in the log self.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge -v =net-im/sim-0.9.3-r2
2. wait some time
3. read the log

Actual Results:  
Exactly what is described in Details happens every time I try to merge this
version if net-im/sim

Expected Results:  
I expect that it actually installs without trying to open those .lock files in
wr mode (if I understand the log messages right).

The diff between two ebuilds

Here the attachment of the difference between the two ebuilds of sim (revision
1 to revision 2). I haven't tried modifying the ebuild according to the patch,
but it might help adding the following back (see the diff):

-if [ $( use kde ) ]; then
-	inherit kde-base eutils
-	need-kde 3
-else
-	inherit base kde-functions eutils
-	need-qt 3
-fi

Created attachment 29321 [details]
The working ebuild

This is the modified ebuild for revision 2 with some sources from revision 1.
This one works.

Created attachment 29323 [details, diff]
Diff between the one in Portage tree and my modification of it 

This modification is, however, purely based on the ebuild of
net-im/sim-0.9.3-r1 in Portage tree.

[Comment 4 Mats Huttunen 2004-04-15 15:20:42 UTC]

Just want to say that I have the same exact error. Haven't tried the patch thought.

[Comment 5 Nick Demchenko 2004-04-15 23:39:07 UTC]

Simply take the ebuild supplied in comment #2.

To be honest, though, there's no source difference between the 2 revisions. That's only the revision of the ebuild (no additional patches and similar, only new deps and the ebuild self got rewritten) - talking of the official -r2 in Portage tree.

[Comment 6 Xake 2004-04-17 03:53:23 UTC]

Had the same problem, but this did the trick:

FEATURES="-sandbox" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge sim

[Comment 7 Nick Demchenko 2004-04-17 04:43:08 UTC]

@#6:
Sure it lets you compile that but what's the purpose of sandbox, if you have to disable it, then? :)

[Comment 8 Xake 2004-04-17 05:16:20 UTC]

@NeoNik:
I still wonder the same. Heard that OpenOffice hav had problems with it too.
Maybe someone should investigate (I don't have the time and knowledge).
