Subject: [gentoo-user] Missing file/directory error when emerging certain packages
Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2004 13:25:07
Message-Id: 41B7009B.3030407@comcast.net
1 System is kernel 2.6.9, recently built from stage 1, using Reiserfs.
2 Very solid and stable for last two weeks.
3
4 All packages so far have emerged nicely, with two exceptions, apache and
5 xorg-x11. Both failed with missing file/directory errors in the
6 /var/tmp/portage tree.
7
8 I built apache from the distribution tarfile in order to get a web
9 server up and running, no problem there.
10
11 It turns out the error when building xorg-x11 is specific to the
12 fontconfig component, which also fails when emerged separately. The
13 error is "cannot create regular file". After the failure, both the
14 source file and target directory are present in the temporary tree.
15
16 Partial output follows:

56 Here are the source file and target directory in the temporary tree:
57 -r--r--r-- 1 root portage 282 Dec 8 08:01
58 /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.3/work/fontconfig-2.2.3/local.conf
59
60 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 112 Dec 8 08:07
61 /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.3/image/etc/fonts
62
63 I'm thinking about building X from the distribution tarfiles, but emerge
64 is really nicer with respect to maintenance and I would like to use it
65 instead.
