Description Skander Morgenthaler 2016-09-05 13:02:11 UTC
www-client/firefox-48.0.1 (also 48.0) reproducably fails to emerge on my system. Firefox seems to build fine, but during install phase it fails at startup cache precompilation.

You are using the p.masked sandbox.  If you downgrade sandbox to ~2.10 it will work fine.

(I will mark this as the appropriate duplicate once I am back at a real keyboard)

Indeed. I completely forgot about that due to no other package failing for me since April 2015. Thanks and sorry about the noise. Firefox emerged perfectly fine with sandbox-2.10~r2.
