Description Jon Kent 2003-09-18 02:07:32 UTC 
When baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1 is merged is the following error is seen if /home is
a NFS mount point:

copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1/image/home/.keep -> /home/.keep failed.

On my machine /home is a NFS mount point therefore this copy will fail.  As
/home is generally a NFS mount it would be sensible to verify /home before
attempting to mount.

Please note that portage reports that that baselayout is successfully installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure /home is NFS mounted
2. emerge baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1
3. error message will be seen when package is installed

Actual Results:  
The following error message will be seen:
copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1/image/home/.keep -> /home/.keep failed.


Expected Results:  
Check status of /home to ensure it is writtable/not a NFS mount point
