After emerging ltsp-core v4 i had to mainly go and make some directories in /opt/ltsp/i386/ namely /proc /dev /oldroot Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ltsp-core v4 2. 3. Actual Results: There was some missing directories. /proc /dev /oldroot Expected Results: The directories should have been created when emerging ltsp-core Portage 2.0.49-r21 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.4.22-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.26GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" 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="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa avi berkdb crypt encode gdbm gif gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg libwww mad mikmod mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
This happens when you upgrade ltsp. The dirs are empty and therefor portage removes them when cleaning out the older version (keepdir would help here). Furthermore it removes some "dead links" that are required to run ltsp. This links are only dead on the server, not on the workstation. That's a portage bug so reassigning. I'll add a notice that you have to delete your old version before upgrading for now.
the removal of empty dirs is Bug 16162 ... although i think if we fix that bug we'll also fix this bug if the implementation is done properly
The links are not there even on a clean install.
hm strange, on a clean install they are created here
Sorry you were correct. The directories where there on a clean install. I got confused on the dir i moved from my clean install.
If this comment shows up on the other bug, this bug is about dangling symlinks also being incorrectly removed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16162 ***
