I've just updated from python-2.5 to 2.6. Since emerge ran fine, I ran python-updater. It's encountering problems with lots of packages. For example, "emerge -1 setuptools" ends with:
########## begin emerge output ########## copying build/lib/pkg_resources.py -> /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py error: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py: Permission denied * * ERROR: dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_install * environment, line 2445: Called distutils_src_install * environment, line 724: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * ${python} setup.py install --root="${D}" --no-compile "$@" || die "python setup.py install failed"; * The die message: * python setup.py install failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/dev-python:setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1:20081021-133932.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1/temp/environment'. * --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-32513.log" open_wr: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Failed to emerge dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1, Log file: >>> '/var/log/portage/dev-python:setuptools-0.6_rc8-r1:20081021-133932.log' * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. ########## end emerge output ########## This looks like a permissions problem in /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/. I normally run emerge as 'relson', but this time I ran emerge as 'root' -- so I don't think it's a simple permissions problem. Has anybody else emerge python-2.6 and run python-updater? Any idea of what I may be doing wrong? Is it time to head for bgo? Regards, David
