Bug 484332 – sys-apps/portage-2.2.1: 'doins' fails when multiple files with the same name are installed in parallel

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Michał Górny 2013-09-09 12:50:43 UTC]

Using the distutils-r1, something like:

  python_install() {
    insinto /usr/lib/python-bin/${EPYTHON}
    doins foo.py
  }

That's being run in parallel. It's supposed to install file with the same basename in multiple directories. Sadly, it fails like:

/usr/bin/install: nie można wykonać stat na „/tmp/portage/dev-python/docutils-0.10/temp/buildhtml.py”: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
!!! doins: /tmp/portage/dev-python/docutils-0.10/temp/buildhtml.py does not exist
 * ERROR: dev-python/docutils-0.10::gentoo-cvs failed (install phase):
 *   doins failed

which clearly shows that the parallel instances collide in temporary directory. Please fix portage to either not use temporary files at all here, or to create proper unique names.

This should fix it:

This is fixed in 2.2.2.
