Description Jaap Verhoeven 2003-10-25 12:24:42 UTC 
portage 2.0.49-r15: the failed emerge of baselayout makes the portage database 
corrupt. example: 
 
x root # emerge -u world 
[...compiles and...] 
>>> /bin/rc-status 
--- /dev/ 
--- /dev/pts/ 
!!! copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1/image/dev/pts/.keep -> 
/dev/pts/.keep failed. 
!!! [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/pts/.keep#new' 
 
[... and now query the portage database ..] 
 
x root # emerge -up world 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: 
 
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

[ebuild     U ] dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4 [7.3.2]
