[gentoo-dev] ncurses and sandbox

[gentoo-dev] ncurses and sandbox

[Grant Goodyear]

I started to build a new system, and I decided to sandbox the
entire build.  I emerged sys-apps/sandbox _before_ even the bootstrap
step, I commented out the portage build in scripts/bootstrap.sh, and
I started the bootstrap.  Surprisingly, it seems that the ncurses
configure script creates files outside of ${D}:

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox14465.log"

unlink:    /usr/tmp/conftest9012345
unlink:    /usr/tmp/conftest9012346
unlink:    /usr/lib/conftest9012345
unlink:    /usr/lib/conftest9012346
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took a look at the configure script, and it seems that the 
ac_sys_long_file_names test writes (and then afterwards unlinks)
files in /usr/tmp and /usr/lib.  Any suggestions?  (Also, it appears
that the sandbox allows those conftest* files to be installed, but
not unlinked.  Is that what was wanted?)

Hi!

I saw similar sandbox violations when emerging fileutils when doing an
emerge update.  In my case, tempory files were trying to be written to
/tmp.

Hi,

I checked this and it's almost 100% sure that this is due to your bash
being the default portage bash. In fact for the sandbox to work fully,
bash should be linked dynamically instead of of statically. Then you get
these errors instead :

------------------------ ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY-----------------------
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox19055.log"

open_wr:   /usr/tmp/conftest9012345
open_wr:   /usr/tmp/conftest9012346
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

and it never arrives at the unlink stage.

The package should be checked though why this is happening.

Geert.

[gentoo-dev] Sandbox ebuild

[Tom von Schwerdtner]

Hey Bevin,

I havent a clue where this problem resides, but after "emerge 
sys-apps/sandbox" (from your mail to the list), 
/var/tmp/portage/sandbox.... isnt cleaned out (the work/ dir is still 
there).

FYI and all...

Thanks for the info. I have no clue what the reason might be. Also it
happens only sometimes.
