If I change any ebuild at all on my system, even adding an epatch line to it, I get this (details are in forum thread above): Calculating dependencies \ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1836: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp: Permission denied ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1837: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp: Permission denied ... --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-<blah>.log" open_wr: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp open_wr: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp open_wr: /dev/shm/aux_db_key_temp ... aux_get(): (0) Error in <ebuild> ebuild.

Even changing ebuilds back to _exactly_ what they were doesnt stop the error messages, and all the ebuild in my overlay are un-emergable. I cannot recall anything specific which caused this.

is /dev/shm mounted?
one of the first things i checked tachyon simon # mount /dev/hda4 on / type reiser4 (rw,noatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) /dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type ntfs (ro) **none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)** none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/usbdisk on /media/usbdisk type reiser4 (rw)
what does `emerge info -v | grep /dev/shm` show ?
simon@tachyon ~ $ emerge info -v |grep /dev/shm PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm"
and if you unset that variable in your make.conf does it work fine ?
no, still the same errors
however, setting it to another directory (/tmp, which is a tmpfs on my system) makes everything work again
Can you give the following a try please? jason@linux ~ $ /usr/lib/portage/bin/sandbox ========================== Gentoo linux path sandbox =========================== Detection of the support files.

Any problems running the same test with /var/cache/edb ?
yup, same problem: ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /var/cache/edb/aux_db_key_temp /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1836: /var/cache/edb/aux_db_key_temp: Permission denied ... open_wr: /var/cache/edb/aux_db_key_temp this occurs even if i use --pretend
The test I was talking about was running sandbox directly...

Another sandbox bug... I seem to recall something similar to this recently.
This is probably fixed by now in recent versions of sandbox.

If so, please reopen.
