• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Carsten Tschense 2005-01-20 08:44:42 UTC]

When I try to build a package with the buildpkg/buildpkgonly-option portage crashes after checking the downloaded files.
This is an example with xorg-x11.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -B package / emerge -b package

Actual Results:  
Cypher ~ # emerge -B xorg-x11
Calculating dependencies    ...done!

Yes, now I noticed it... I'm an idiot.

[Comment 2 Emil Beinroth 2005-01-20 09:06:33 UTC]

Wouldn't it be better if portage would print a messages, let's say "Set you PKGDIR in /etc/make.conf", instead of crashing?

[Comment 3 Carsten Tschense 2005-01-20 09:37:04 UTC]

Yes, would be nice ;)... Strange, I set PKGDIR, but left it empty ;)
Does portage tell you about it, if it isn't set? I give it a try, when xorg is finish...
