Subject: [gentoo-user] Frequently seeing "error processing environment"
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:43:28

1 Hello. I am new to the list so I apologize if this has been discussed before.
2
3 I see lots of messages like this one, and it seems to come more often
4 when I am emerging a large number of packages (like emerge -e system):
5
6 *
7 * ERROR: sys-devel/automake-wrapper-3-r1 failed.
8 * Call stack:
9 * ebuild.sh, line 1772: Called die
10 * The specific snippet of code:
11 * die "error processing environment"
12 * The die message:
13 * error processing environment
14
15 It is difficult to reproduce, as I can typically try that package
16 again or emerge --resume (without --skipfirst) and everything goes
17 fine, until the problem hits a different package. What information
18 would be useful from me in trying to figure out this problem?
19
20 This has been a problem for me for months now, and I've tried various
21 ideas from bugzilla and the forums to no effect.
