Axxo has reported the same thing.
This error happens when `mv /var/db/pkg/net-libs/nfsidmap-0.10 /var/db/pkg/net-libs/libnfsidmap-0.10` fails. Can you test that operation by hand? Normally, it shouldn't fail...
(In reply to comment #3) > This error happens when `mv /var/db/pkg/net-libs/nfsidmap-0.10 > /var/db/pkg/net-libs/libnfsidmap-0.10` fails. Can you test that operation by > hand? Normally, it shouldn't fail... Sorry, I cannot test anymore. I "just" ran another "emerge --sync", and now everything worked out allright. Actually, as you might have noticed, in my bug report, I did *not* run "emerge --sync" manually, but had "eix-sync" run it. Now, when everything worked, I ran "emerge --sync" manually (ie. I ran "sudo emerge --sync" on a command line). Another "eix-sync" which I ran just now, worked fine as well.
I got something very similar this morning: /bin/mv /var/db/pkg/net-misc/resolvconf-gentoo-1.0 /var/db/pkg/net-dns/resolvconf-gentoo-1.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3023, in ? portage.global_updates( File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7019, in global_updates trees["/"]["vartree"].dbapi.move_ent(update_cmd) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4535, in move_ent write_atomic(os.path.join(newpath, "CATEGORY"), mynewcat+"\n") File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 693, in write_atomic f = atomic_ofstream(file_path) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 633, in __init__ super(atomic_ofstream, self).__init__(tmp_name, mode=mode, **kargs) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/db/pkg/net-dns/resolvconf-gentoo-1.0/CATEGORY.32034' These appear to be problems with pkg moves, as both the packages mentioned in the errors have moves associated with them: gentoo-x86/profiles/updates/2Q-2006: ... move net-libs/nfsidmap net-libs/libnfsidmap move net-misc/resolvconf-gentoo net-dns/resolvconf-gentoo
Created attachment 88985 [details] test case that closes stdin The problem is that stdin is closed prior to running rsync. Thankfully this bug is relatively harmless. The update should proceed normally on the next invocation of emerge.
I've run the test case with 2.0.54 and it doesn't not have the same problem. Apparently it is related to changes in the portage_exec module. I'd say portage_exec is behaving correctly though. It's just that having a closed file descriptor for stdin has potential to lead to all sorts or problems like this.
This is fixed in svn r3499.
This has been released in 2.1.1_pre1.
