During "emerge -u world" I encountered the following problem: perl-5.8.2-r1 compiles fine. When emerge starts to actually install the packes, I have two errors which are very likely related: (a) During "./perl installman --destdir=/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/" I get: [...] /usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.3 Can't open /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image//usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp for writing: File exists at installman line 188 * Removing /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/ from /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/Encode/Config.pm... * Removing /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/ from /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/Config.pm... * Removing /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/ from /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/Net/Config.pm... * Removing /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/ from /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/.packlist...

I tried a third machine (also ext3) which didn't have this problem. So I have 2 machines where I can reproduce the error and one machine which doesn't make any trouble. Christian
same problem here. i haven't checked the fs but it's ext3 too and have run flawlessly for months and never been uncleanly shut down.

Changing to /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/image/usr/share/man/man3 and doing > echo Hash::Util.* yields Hash::Util.3pm.gz Hash::Util.tmp but > ls Hash::Util.* yields ls: Hash::Util.tmp: No such file or directory Hash::Util.3pm.gz The filesystem is ext3. I'm puzzled. Hans-Georg
hmm that's interresting, the machine i expect least to be able to do this(it's been played a bit too much with and i've been meaning to reinstall for over 6 months, it also have trouble emerging stuff, had some unfortunate power failures too, i seriously doubt it'd be able to boot if it was rebooted, it's that bad), my primary desktop machine, actually does it right. anyway here's some info.

oh yeah the machine mentioned in #5 is ext3 too and not cheched for errors.
