When I "emerge -pe world", there is blocked packages named mktemp and coreutils,I unmerge mktemp ,"emerge sync" & "emerge portage" ,then "emerge coreutils" ,ok ! there has no blocked packages. But after "emerge apache ",when I start it ,it says "sh: /bin/mktemp: No such file or directory." I am sorry I'm a fresh man.Thanks!!

The reason >=sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 is blocking sys-apps/mktemp-1.5 is that mktemp is now provided by coreutils. Could you re-emerge coreutils and check if you have /bin/mktemp
coreutils-6.11 provides /bin/mktemp you need to `emerge -C mktemp` and then `emerge coreutils`
yeah,after I `emerge -C mktemp` (I have unmerge it before ,so there is no package to unmerge ^_^ )and `emerge coreutils`, I found there have /bin/mktemp. But there is still a problem, then I found the course is "Error running '/sbin/depscan.sh'!". since "emerge baselayout" ,the syetem works. Thank you all!!!
If you need mktemp the easiest way is: 1. Get the stage3 2. Unpack the stage into /root/stage3 directory 3. Copy /root/stage3/bin/mktemp into /bin That's all.
Why did this bug happen? I ran into this problem while running updates very conservatively on a production box. What's the origin of this problem? How did my mktemp disappear?

FYI, Over the years, mktemp has moved a lot: sys-apps/debianutils sys-apps/mktemp sys-apps/coreutils # emerge -B coreutils && emerge --unmerge mktemp && emerge -1 coreutils && hash -r Or if you are still on a box where it was in debianutils (and you never got the seperate mktemp package): # emerge -B coreutils debianutils && emerge -1 debianutils && emerge -1 coreutils && hash -r
if /bin/mktemp is missing, it's easy enough to temporarily do: cp /bin/busybox /bin/mktemp
