I had a successful emerge system on sparc following the excellent<br>
guide on bootstrapping Solaris.  I ran into a recently reported issue<br>
with debianutils not being on the mirors, but worked through it based<br>
on the information in the issue report.  My next step was to take a<br>
backup of course, and then I started thinking about emerging packages.<br>
<br>
The first one I tried was mysql-5.5.20 (with minimal).  I encountered<br>
two issues, only one of which I was able to work-around.<br>
<br>
1) emerge failed with:<br>
<br>
Can&#39;t create output directory for<br>
${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/work/mysql-5.5.20_build/sql/share/ukrainian<br>
<br>
The root cause of this was not anything ukrainian, but the fact that<br>
${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/work/mysql-5.5.20_build/sql/share<br>
did not exist.  I created it manually during the emerge from a<br>
different shell (not good, I know, just testing) and then I had a<br>
successful build.  I see output indicating [100%] Buiilt target<br>
symlink_libmysqlclient_r.so Install the project...<br>
<br>
2) emerge then fails during install, and with --debug I can see:<br>
<br>
+ newins ${EPREFIX}/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.5.20/temp/my.cnf.ok my.cnf<br>
-------------------------------------------------------<br>
You should not use ${EPREFIX} with helpers.<br>
  --&gt; ${EPREFIX}/etc/mysql<br>
-------------------------------------------------------<br>
 * ERROR: dev-db/mysql-5.5.20 failed (install phase):<br>
 *   newins failed<br>
<br>
I intend to debug further, and I need to check more carefully on<br>
Buzilla, but initially I did not see any reports on this.  Any<br>
suggestions, or indication that this is a localized problem as opposed<br>
to a bug?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Scott<br>
