Description piotr5 2022-04-22 10:52:26 UTC

I have symlinks from /systemd/* to / so that usr and other core-directories are symlinks. dev-qt/qtwayland-5.15.3-r1 refuses to install with the error

rm: cannot remove '/systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwayland-5.15.3-r1/image/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qtwaylandscanner': No such file or directory

of course that file doesn't exist instead I have a file /systemd/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwayland-5.15.3-r1/image/systemd/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qtwaylandscanner

of course the bug is minor as it can be circumvented by a chroot before emerge...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /systemd; mv /usr /systemd; ln -s /systemd/usr /
2. emerge dev-qt/qtwayland

It's not a bug as far as I am concerned. What do you suggest as a solution?
