Romain, can you upgrade to portage-2.0.51-r3 and see if you can reproduce this please? Lars, your's is different and is caused by bug #70989.
As a matter of fact i found a few days ago a workaround to this bug by renaming the /etc/X11/xdm folder into something else and then re-emerged xorg and that time it worked. SInce then, I have updated to portage-2.0.51-r3. I've tried to emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 (which was already correctly installed thansk to the workaround i foud) and did not encounter that bug, the emerge went fine.
same error while trying to emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3, 6.8.0-r5 or 6.8.2-r1 also tried on a completely fresh install, the "workaround" doesn't help there, because there is no /var/lib/xdm to move yet error: >>> /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession >>> /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 >>> /etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3074, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1848, in merge retval=portage.doebuild(y,"merge",myroot,self.pkgsettings,edebug) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2651, in doebuild return merge(mysettings["CATEGORY"],mysettings["PF"],mysettings["D"],mysetti ngs["BUILDDIR"]+"/build-info",myroot,mysettings,myebuild=mysettings["EBUILD"]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2823, in merge return mylink.merge(pkgloc,infloc,myroot,myebuild) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6834, in merge return self.treewalk(mergeroot,myroot,inforoot,myebuild,cleanup=cleanup) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6447, in treewalk if self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,"",cfgfiledict,mymtime): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6699, in mergeme if self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict ,thismtime): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6699, in mergeme if self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict ,thismtime): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6699, in mergeme if self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict ,thismtime): File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6624, in mergeme mydest = new_protect_filename(myrealdest, newmd5=portage_checksum.perform_md 5(srcroot+myabsto)) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 25, in perform_md5 return perform_checksum(x, md5hash, calc_prelink)[0] File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 128, in perform_checksum myhash, mysize = hash_function(myfilename) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_checksum.py", line 75, in md5hash return fchksum.fmd5t(filename) IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/image//v ar/lib/xdm' emerge info: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11ac3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11ac3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#2, Mar 14 2005, 19:28:41)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.6.3, 1.5, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo" LANG="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL="de_DE@euro" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/gimpel /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdparanoia cdr codecs crypt cups curl directfb divx4linux dvd dvdread emboss encode esd faac faad fam fbcon flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gimp gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal imagemagick imlib ithreads jack java jpeg junit kde kdexdeltas libg++ libwww mad matroska mbrola mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mp3 mpeg mpeg4 mysql nas ncurses nls nptl nvidia oggvorbis opengl oss pdflib perl png postgres python qt quicktime readline ruby scanner sdl shadow slang sndfile spell sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts v4l v4l2 xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib linguas_de" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LDFLAGS temporary solution: echo ">sys-apps/portage-2.0.51-r15" >> /etc/portage/package.mask emerge portage emerge xorg-x11

any idea on this one? seems to be a very special one. i tried the above suggestions, none helped... masking newer portage was more like a suggestion, but no solution, sorry also sorry for opening new bug.

(In reply to comment #7) > So renaming the directory also does not work (or you don
(In reply to comment #7) > So renaming the directory also does not work (or you don´t even have one)? well, moving /etc/X11/xdm alone didn't do it here, no. but now i upgraded to current ~x86 portage and left the dir moved --> worked :) thanks anyways guys!
