which version of portage? Should be most recent: 2.0.50-r6 Requires more fixing than just that particular problem. I'd rather leave it tracebacking on strange layouts than simply ignoring that something has done something wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51584 *** In my case it crushed because of qmail/files/. /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/qmail-1.03-r13: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 624 Jun 17 14:15 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jun 11 14:21 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Jun 11 14:21 CATEGORY -- snip -- drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 Jun 17 14:15 files/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14101 Jun 11 14:21 qmail-1.03-r13.ebuild emerge should report on what is wrong and continue things instead of be crushed. Or it will make gentoo users waste a much of time. Now you know that the layout would have wrong directory, don't you? So please help users won't face the crush. I think you can make (small) test tool checks correctness of the layout. |
