• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

I tried to bootstrap a new stage3 today, and while running that baselayout-1.13.0_alpha5 failed within postinst.

Yeah, so post an error from alpha5.

That code is from alpha3, and the portage tempdir thinks it is too

Roy, you are absolutely right ... here's what is currently failing with _alpha5:

                touch "/"$x/.keep || exit $? ; \
        done

Created attachment 101267 [details, diff]
Don't create /proc

See if this fixes
