I have a problem with several different packages failing to emerge due to a symlink error. Below is an output of what I see: >>> emerge (4 of 59) gnome-base/nautilus-2.4.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) nautilus-2.4.0.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking nautilus-2.4.0.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/nautilus-2.4.0/work * Applying nautilus-2-x-printers.patch...

While it's not the same software package, this problem is the same as bug #28211, so marking as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28211 ***
