I tried to update the baselayout ebuild, but it failes on removing the old version. The process seems to be stuck here, because all emerges need to remove the old baselayout version and fail. The stderr text goes like this: init.c: In function `init_main': init.c:2439: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void sulogin.c: In function `main': sulogin.c:347: warning: `p' might be used uninitialized in this function chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1/image//mnt/floppy': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1/image//mnt/cdrom': No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1943, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1241, in merge if not unmerge("clean", [xsplit[0]]): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1445, in unmerge retval=portage.unmerge(mysplit[0],mysplit[1],portage.root,unmerge_action not in ["clean","prune"]) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1825, in unmerge mylink.unmerge(trimworld=mytrimworld) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4131, in unmerge objld=listdir(obj) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 93, in listdir list = os.listdir(mypath) OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/mnt/floppy' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. with baselayout 1.8.6.8 installed, run "emerge -u baselayout" 2. 3.
