Wrong /etc directory?

I have recently changed my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~x86" to compile Gnome 2.4 But now some packages (like libbonobo or kahakai) are looking for their config files at /var/tmp/portage/...//image/etc

Someone knows what is happening?

Did you uncomment this in /etc/make.conf?

# Portage Directories
# ===================
#
# Each of these settings controls an aspect of portage's storage and file
# system usage. If you change any of these, be sure it is available when
# you try to use portage. *** DO NOT INCLUDE A TRAILING "/" ***
#
# PORTAGE_TMPDIR is the location portage will use for compilations and
# temporary storage of data. This can get VERY large depending upon
# the application being installed.
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp

Mine is like that.

It doesn't work :cry:

. In fact, this variable was defined in make.globals.

Someone have this problem? How can I tell portage where real /etc directory is?

The sandboxing(?) code keeps everything in /var/tmp/portage/whatever.

It is installed into "/var/tmp/portage/whatever/image/" I think.

Perhaps it is storing the sandboxed directory in the config file in the install phase based on the current directory. This cannot be fixed during merge.

Other stuff like this happens:
