I have been running gentoo on amd64 for a while with XOrg. When I did an upgrade, I got errors with migrating /usr/X11R6.

>>> Completed installing xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 into /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904/image/

>>> Merging x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 to /

Thanks in advance,

I fixed it. All I had to do was rm -Rf /usr/X11R6. Thanks #gentoo.

For anyone else who comes across this thread, please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org and attach the contents of /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-[0-9]*/temp/migrate-*. That way I can keep more people from hitting the problem.

Thanks,
Donnie

I have the same problem.
I found this bug and this bug ; do you still want the files you asked for ?
Should I append them to one of the two bugs ? ( one of them seems to be from you, Donnie)

Open a new bug. The migration can fail for a lot of reasons, and they're not necessarily the same bug.

I opened this bug. Hope it's OK ! (it's my first bug report)
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84773

(note : I resolved the problem with
Code:
mv /usr/X11R6 /tmp
, so I don't have so much informations on my system anymore...)

Hi!

I had the same problem while upgrading to 6.8.2-r1 from 6.8.0-r5:

Code:

 * Remaining symlinks in /usr/X11R6:
//usr/X11R6/lib32
 * Migrating from /usr/X11R6 to /usr...
 * Migration method is rsync.
 *   /usr/X11R6 isn't a symlink, migrating...

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 failed.
!!! Function check_migrate_return, Line 1502, Exitcode 1
!!! rsync failed. Exit code: 23.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

!!! FAILED preinst: 1


I solved (thanks for the suggestion!) by deleting the /usr/X11R6 directory, which from now on is a symlink to /usr, and will probably disappear at all soon or after.

Michele.

That isn't a solution, that's a workaround. Filing a bug with the relevant logs will allow us to solve the underlying problem.

I thought there were already enough reports for just the same bug. If it happens on another of my machines, I'll report it (even though it seem to have plagued only the AMD64 one). ;-)
