Created attachment 91523 [details, diff] fix the NameError for 'portage_exception' This patch will fix the NameError, but I'm not sure why you received an Operation Not Permitted error there. What type of filesystem is /usr/portage/distfiles on? If you save the patch as /tmp/NameError.patch, then you can apply it as follows: cd /usr/lib/portage patch -p0 < /tmp/NameError.patch

What type of filesystem is > /usr/portage/distfiles on? Thx a lot for the patch, now everything's fine. /usr/portage/distfiles is on an ext3 partition bound to the right spot in filesystem. It worked like that for half a year... The thing is that this ext3 partition is on an external HDD with a lousy controller, so maybe the controller flatlined for a moment, it happened like before. Anyway, I think portage shouldn't throw errors like this at me. > > If you save the patch as /tmp/NameError.patch, then you can apply it as > follows: > > cd /usr/lib/portage > patch -p0 < /tmp/NameError.patch >
(In reply to comment #2) > a lousy controller, so maybe the controller flatlined for a moment, it happened > like before. Anyway, I think portage shouldn't throw errors like this at me. It's certainly a bug. The intention is for portage to be tolerant of $DISTDIR errors as much as possible.
This was fixed in svn r3494 about a month ago and realeased in 2.1.1_pre1. It should go into 2.1-r2.
This is in svn r4057 for 2.1-r2.
This has been released in 2.1-r2.
