Emerging a package leaves files "eclass-debug.log" and "environment" in the /var/tmp/portage/<package>/temp directory. Especially the "environment" file is quite large and it accumulates over time, while the files are of no obvious usefulness and likely serve only portage debugging and therefore be by default deleted - if they are of any use, they shouldn't be in /var/tmp/portage. It also hides possible huge temporary directories left over by packages whose emerging was interrupted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge plenty of packages 2. admire the huge /var/tmp/portage directory Actual Results: /var/tmp/portage/<packagename>/temp/* is left over after each emerge. Expected Results: It should delete /var/tmp/portage/<packagename> after the merge is successfully over.

I already discussed a similar issue myself on #gentoo-portage. I can confirm this problem. Additionally - for me at least - portage leaves *everything* in /var/tmp/portage, the whole work, image, temp subtrees and sources/temp files when I do 'emerge -B some-ebuild'. Of course, a lot of cruft accumulater really quickly and /var runs out of disk space periodically. :( P.S. No, I *don't* have keeptemp or keepwork in FEATURES. ;)
(In reply to comment #0) > Emerging a package leaves files "eclass-debug.log" and "environment" Actually, it is when the previous version is unmerged that ${T}/{eclass-debug.log,environment} are left behind. That makes the reported issue a duplicate of bug 85803.

Jakub, have you resolved your issue? If so, do you know what caused it?
(In reply to comment #2) > Jakub, have you resolved your issue? If so, do you know what caused it? No, it's still broken here and I have NFC what's the problem. :-(
i dont think it's broken the behavior i see is: - /var/tmp/portage is empty - i install package test-0 - /var/tmp/portage has the 'test-0' subdir cleaned out - i upgrade to test-1 - /var/tmp/portage has the 'test-1' subdir cleaned out but the 'test-0' is left behind

Okay, I did emerge -B somepackage and got the same results as Jakub. The code inside emerge clearly shows that the "clean" target is only run after the merge if "--buildpkgonly" not in myopts.
This is in svn r2840 for release in 2.1_pre6.
Released in 2.1_pre6.
