The only non-standard thing going on here is I am using http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/amd64/musl/stage3-amd64-musl-hardened-20151104.tar.bz2

Full build log and env attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge man-db (using musl stage3)

Comment 6 Felix Janda 2015-11-16 21:35:14 UTC

Combined with MAKEOPTS=-j24 it is maybe even less standard.
Does it compile with MAKEOPTS=-j1?

Comment 7 Felix Janda 2015-11-16 21:51:19 UTC

Try also >=sys-apps/man-db-2.7.4, which includes

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/?id=32ee575a45d3a7e221a7b29c457049b659315152

Comment 8 Justin Keogh 2015-11-17 03:23:29 UTC

Exited chroot, then:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
env-update

changed MAKEOPTS to -j1

emerge man-db
(worked)

changed MAKEOPTS back to to -j24
emerge man-db
(worked)
tried that 10 more times, all compiled with -j24.

Also tried -j48 (it's a 24 core box), compiled 10x without error.

The install is automated, so I started it from scratch and man-db again compiled fine. Bummer. OK to close since I cant reproduce it.

Comment 9 Justin Keogh 2015-11-20 17:49:47 UTC

I managed to hit this again (MAKEOPTS="-j24"), saved the build folder and then deleted /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps, did "emerge man-db" again and it worked.

10x more emerge man-db tries all completed.

So, outside the chroot: "echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"

and then "emerge man-db" again (inside chroot): still compiles.

Comment 10 Felix Janda 2016-10-07 00:05:06 UTC

Can you still reproduce with the current stable version (man-db-2.7.5)?
(I very much suspect that it is fixed (see comment 7).)

The bug might be easier to hit with MAKEOPTS="-j" (use as many threads
as possible).

Comment 11 Justin Keogh 2017-05-11 13:13:53 UTC

I am not able to reproduce this, suggest close. Thanks!

Comment 12 tt_1 2018-03-09 23:05:26 UTC

ebuild is not in tree anymore, those in tree work. bug can and should be closed.
