• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 104711
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) 2005-09-10 12:56:20 UTC]

i suspect it doesn't honour the -n flag anymore?

test case i noticed the/a problem with: 

ebuild with:
src_install() {
        dodir /opt/test/coreutils/
        touch ${D}/opt/test/coreutils/bar
        dosym /opt/test/coreutils/bar /opt/test/coreutils/foo
        dosym /opt/test/coreutils/bar /opt/test/coreutils/foo
}

sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1-r6:
no problem, everything normal

sys-apps/coreutils-5.3.0-r1:
sandbox violation:

>>> Install test-0 into /var/tmp/portage/test-0/image/ category app-misc
ACCESS DENIED  symlink:   /var/tmp/portage/test-0/image/opt/test/coreutils/foo
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/portage/test-0/image//opt/test/coreutils/
foo' to `/opt/test/coreutils/bar': Permission denied

pretty sure this is a sandbox issue, not a coreutils

Same issue as xfsdump, and already fixed in sandbox svn.
