The first thing I'd do it set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to somewhere less important than /var. You don't want to risk corrupting system files while sorting this out. It would also show whether the problem was with an ebuild or the filesystem. Use a tmpfs filesystem if you have the memory. -- Neil Bothwick Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
