I've been seeing a lot of errors recently with Portage (right up through the current stable version (portage-2.0.47-r7). Here are a couple of examples:
emerge'ing ncurses on sparc (I think): open_wr: /var/cache/edb/mtimedb chown: /var/cache/edb chown: /var/cache/edb/dep open_wr: /var/cache/edb/mtimedb chown: /var/cache/edb chown: /var/cache/edb/dep open_wr: /var/cache/edb/mtimedb chown: /var/cache/edb chown: /var/cache/edb/dep open_wr: /var/cache/edb/mtimedb I've seen this with other packages as well. I was also working on an ebuild for libgnomedb-0.9.0 last night and received the following errors (ACCESS VIOLATIONS): open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs Both types of errors are fatal and I'm running into a lot of roadblocks these days with similar errors. Getting to be very frustrating. I haven't had any luck doing Google or forum searches. Is anyone else running into similar errors? If so, is there a workaround? Ric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
