hum, that's a problem with SANDBOX ..

might not be 100% safe (you've to trust the ebuild), but you can do that :

I had the exact same error when emerge -uDav world wanted to gnome to 2.10. I tried to get round it by masking out that version of Evolution, but got the same problem a few more packages later on with file-roller.

There were also packages that needed the ~x86 keyword in packages.keyword. I think gtk-themes and a sys-apps thing. Which I sorted by adding the ~x86 keyword. Sorry, I'm away from my box, so I'm going on memory.

I thought I'd go to bed, wake up, emerge --sync and it would be fixed. Guess not. Still, it might provide some comfort, although no solution, to know you're not alone.

This thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-344559-highlight-gnome+violation.html suggests a GCC update fixes it. A emerge -uDav gcc on my server shows updates pending for

As this is a live server, I haven't updated. I'll try on my testbed machine after work. Wouldn't have thought I'd need a test machine for stable, but it's been required lately. I wonder if running the toolchain in stable (not ~x86. I'm on gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1) is what's setting me up for these falls. I guess the devs are running something more bleeding edge, so ironically the stable series gets less testing on the updated packages. Just a thought.

I get same attempting to update same package (the 39th of 63 that portage wanted to update this morning to satisfy "gnome" in the world file)

GCC is apparantly up to date for a non-testing machine - why would I need a non-stable GCC to get supposedly stable gnome packages? This is frankly ridiculous if true (re: response pointing to user who updated GCC to fix this issue).

A little difficult to back out now since the first 38 packages went in Ok and I had to emerge -C 2 other blocking packages before starting. This is really frustrating. I presumably will now have a totally broken Gnome desktop when I get home (updating this remotely at present).

for anyone that wants the info the bug relating to this "glitch" is at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92920

the sandbox problems seem to be causing lots of bug reports today - lets hope they fix it quickly

i agree with one of the posters in here that this type of error should not have happened, more testing is needed!

ive just been bollocked on bugzilla for posting that i disabled sandbox:

It's working for me now

At least gcalctool is compiled correctly. This was the first package with the sandbox bug in my system.

Solution:
emerge sync

I synced like two hours ago and I'm getting the access violation on Evolution. Syncing again now to see if it will go away.

We wait 3 months for it to be stabilised and we still can't even update without unmerging two blockers and failing half way through! Bleh!

Now the same problem with file-roller

I'll try again 2 hours later.

Yeah this is not pretty. On the mailing lists they are talking about disabling sandbox but i do not wish to do this, i have openbox and for now just have to be patient i guess but this is very discouraging. :cry:

Thanks for the warning guys. For once I've been smart enough to not just accept the update but first check the forums. :lol:

I'll wait until the problems have been fixed before possibly messing up my system. :wink:

On a new install, "emerge gnome" ran for over 13 hours and was on 99 of 181 (gnome-applets-2.8.2) when it terminated with a screen full of nothing but "open_wr: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs" :mad:

.

And now emerge --info says "sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present]". :?:

But I've got a /tmp/sandbox-gnome-base_-_gnome-applets-2.8.2-10444.log, which says what the screen did when emerge terminated. As a n00b I'm lost -- where did sandbox go?

Any suggestions appreciated.

I just synced up a hour or so ago and things seem to be going ok so far, im keeping my fingers crossed :lol:

the official bug report notes that fixed ebuilds are now in portage. I made this work earlier by disabling sandbox (not really checking what the impact of this might be). Is there likely to be a problem on my box caused by disabling sandbox? Should I re-emerge all the packages merged without it or what?

Cheers,

Don't disable your sandbox. Wait for the bug to get fixed.
