Description Heinrich Rebehn 2004-02-05 03:47:53 UTC

root@gentoo [~] # emerge baselayout
[...]
--- /var/db/pkg/
--- /home/
!!! copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1/image/home/.keep -> /home/.keep failed.
!!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/.keep#new'
root@gentoo [~] #

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See under "details". /home must be automounted

Actual Results:  
See under "details"

Expected Results:  
No errors

Of course, the installation procedure cannot write to /home when /home is
automounted. Should probably test for automount and refrain from writing .keep
