When emerging baselayout, there is an error when trying to copy to /dev/pts/.keep And the install aborts. This is especially problematic in baselayout. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge baselayout Actual Results: Error Expected Results: Cleanly installed I do not use devfs or devfsd, which has been assumed by ebuilds in the past. I had the actual error text in a bug report, but I've been having problems with bugs.gentoo.org (Bug 29628), and it's scrolled out of my screen now; basically just a copy permissions error. I may be able to reproduce if I can get some reliable advice on safely fixing some current baselayout problems. emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.21) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.21 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2700+ ccache version 2.2 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb:/usr/kde/3.1/share/config:/usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 apm cups foomaticdb libg++ mad nls truetype xml2 gdbm berkdb slang svga tcltk java guile sdl gpm tcpd libwww gtk qt motif -gnome -acpi -alsa -arts -esd -pam 3dnow aalib avi cdr cjk crypt doc dvd encode gif imlib jpeg kde mbox mikmod mmx mmxext mpeg ncurses oggvorbis opengl oss pdflib perl png postgres python quicktime readline scanner spell ssl tetex tiff X xmms xv zlib"
