i don't see what sandbox has to do with it. packages shouldn't access /root/.
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #4) You're right. FEATURES=-sandbox gives same result.

Could you paste the output of: $ getent passwd portage I guess something is using /root as its home while building and gobject-introspection uses /root/.cache to cache some of its work which results in this sandbox error. To solve this, the ebuilds can use xdg.eclass that should properly setup the environment to a temporary directory under portage control.
(In reply to Gilles Dartiguelongue from comment #9) >getent passwd portage portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false
I tried reproducing this problem using sudo su - or su - to get root access but without success. I don't see what's causing this.
In both cases this is caused by the g-ir-scanner... :/ does that have global configuration files where things might go wrong?

Afaik, there is no configuration for g-ir-scanner. Could you dump the ebuild environment and attach it ?
I have a similar error.
I am assigning this to gnome as maintainer of gobject-introspection because I believe that to be the source of the issue. If you require more specific information from the reporter(s), then please specify exactly what from where. (which ebuild, where to find "environment", etc)
All instruction are provided by portage when the build stops.

(In reply to Gilles Dartiguelongue from comment #16) What do you mean? harfbuzz failing with this: * * The following package has failed to build, install, or execute postinst: * * (media-libs/harfbuzz-1.1.3:0/0.9.18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge), Log file: * '/var/log/portage/pkg/build/media-libs/harfbuzz-1.1.3:20160115-065842.log' *
I had the same error unset XDG_CACHE_HOME fixed the problem. I think this is somehow related: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444568
Then, until this is covered at EAPI level it will be a problem to track all potential packages that could break with this :S (another reason for fixing bug 499288 some decade... but I am too pessimistic on that)
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #19) >track all potential packages that could break with this Some of them: media-libs/gexiv2-0.10.3 media-libs/gstreamer-1.6.2 x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf-2.32.3 x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.6-r1 media-libs/harfbuzz-1.1.3 gnome-base/librsvg-2.40.13 media-libs/gegl-0.3.4 Potentially all that binds to GObject Introspection. I think so.
*** Bug 574772 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This looks to be caused by people running emerge with a "polluted" XDG_CACHE_HOME var (per duplicate bug it could be caused, for example, when people becomes root using "su" without the - and, then, getting the var set to their old home. I cannot run test now, but it seems that this could be reproduce if we set XDG_CACHE_HOME to a wrong value on purpose to detect what packages need to inherit xdg.eclass for cleaning their environments. If that is the case, I would try to ask Toralf to run a tinderbox with that for helping us to fix that packages and make them inherit the eclass. I also wonder if PMS team would finally accept to, at least, introduce the concrete vars that are being cleaned in xdg.eclass for eapi7 for, at least, cover them in the future :|

XDG_CACHE_HOME is explicitly intended to be set by the user, and this issue occurs if it is set to anything at all, not just a "polluted" or "wrong" value inherited from the user env. I see that gobject-introspection-1.46.0 was just stabilized, so this problem just got that much more widespread. At least the following recently stabilized packages all fail now: - harfbuzz - libosinfo - libvirt-glib The problem does not occur with the previous stable version of gobject-introspection (1.44.0).
Looking at the code of xdg-utils.eclass, the easiest way to fix this should be * inherit xdg-utils (has no phases) * call xdg_environment_reset at the start of src_configure

Yes I know we need this in stable too, but let's wait first whether anything explodes.
(In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #25) I do not understand how packages using gnome2.eclass (like gdk-pixbuf) were failing. They are already cleaning the enbvironment as gnome2.eclass does it using xdg.eclass :/ Was the breakage on that concrete packages really tested or was only following the advise of people talking about potential broken packages? I also wonder about revbumping for this build time change :|
(In reply to Nick Bowler from comment #23) > XDG_CACHE_HOME is explicitly intended to be set by the user, and this > issue occurs if it is set to anything at all, not just a "polluted" or > "wrong" value inherited from the user env. If you keep intentionally changing the defaults of XDG_ (and not only XDG_) vars to random values you will get many random problems. That is the reason for trying to become root with su - instead of simply root because, as soon as package managers keep preserving most of the environment variables, build of multiple packages are prone to randomly fail as soon as they start to honor that variables that are set to uncontrolled values (that is a bit more developed in bug 499288)

(In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #25) [...] All this commits reviewed finally @Toralf, we would need to get an amd64 stable tinderbox run running emerge with something like: XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/pacho/tmp/ emerge -1 ... Being the directory a folder in your real filesystem to see if it tries to write there. If that is the case, you will get a sandbox violation error and you will be able to make that bugs block this tracker. Thanks a lot
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #30) is /tmp a sufficient FS too or are the perms too weak there (rw for all) ?
If I don't misremember, /tmp can be written and sandbox won't die
As a rule of thumb, always use xdg.eclass, xdg-utils is really for cases where maintainer does not want any phase changes. xdg.eclass is meant to cover XDG_* variables and all other xdg spec that would need to be taken care of, now or in the future (desktop and mime files for now). I will add that info somewhere in the eclasses.

as per IRC EAPI 7 solves this entirely: [21:51] <willikins> toralf, you have notes! [Apr-22 05:39] <mgorny> please either stop those XDG* runs or limit them to EAPI 7. there's no purpose in having people hack around this (rare) stuff when EAPI bump will usually solve it
