hi,
I just emerged a bunch of Gnome-2.3.x packages. All went fine up to gnome-panel
the ebuild stops somewhere during the install (build root install in /var/tmp/...) with messages like
| Code: |
Failed to access configuration source(s): Failed:
Could not make directory `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': Permission denied
Failed to access configuration source(s): Failed:
Could not make directory `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': Permission denied
Setting default for /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/top_panel/name to Top Panel
Failed to access configuration source(s): Failed:
Could not make directory `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': Permission denied
Failed to access configuration source(s): Failed:
Could not make directory `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': Permission denied
|
and so on ...
looks like some part of the installation does not respect the build root and wants to go directly into /etc
so how can I work around this?
something that can be done in the ebuild or do I have to modify the source ?
thanks
Jens

I'm having the same problem emerging 2.3.1. Its a problem with sandbox being enabled and therefore here is the solution:
| Code: | | export SANDBOX_DISABLED=1; emerge gnome-panel |
Works for me, hope it works for you. |

yes, but Sandbox seems always like a bad hack to me.
there has to be another way to deal with that: probably fix the source but I'm not familiar enough with linux programming to do that without some help ...
