Bug 911595 – sys-apps/systemd-254: rmdir: failed to remove '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/systemd-254/image/sbin': Directory not empty

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Albert W. Hopkins 2023-08-02 12:24:43 UTC]

I don't know why this fails on this particular system. On other systems it succeeds, but on this particular system:

```
Running custom install script '/bin/sh -c mkdir -p $DESTDIR//var/lib/systemd'
Running custom install script '/bin/sh -c touch $DESTDIR/usr'
rmdir: failed to remove '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/systemd-254/image/sbin': Directory not empty
 * ERROR: sys-apps/systemd-254::gentoo failed (install phase):
```

I have tried with MAKEOPTS=-j1 but that yielded the same result.

The contents of the `sbin` directory:

```
# ls -al sbin
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 jenkins jenkins  60 Aug  2 07:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 jenkins jenkins 180 Aug  2 07:06 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jenkins jenkins  26 Aug  2 07:06 mount.ddi -> ../usr/bin/systemd-dissect
```

```

Please include the full build.log and emerge --info.

Also, I don't know why but this system uniquely had `FEATURES=nostrip`. So I took that configuration out, but it still yielded the same result.

A warning for you in case you haven't seen the news item:

split-usr support will be removed in the next systemd release (255). You will need to migrate your systems to merged-usr if you want to continue using systemd.

    sys-apps/systemd: do not remove "${ED}/sbin" on split-usr
    
    systemd-254 installs a symlink "/sbin/mount.ddi" whenever libblkid is
    available. Gentoo always has libblkid via sys-apps/util-linux.
