[gentoo-user] Problem with genlop

[Yuval Scharf]

Hello,

Why when ever I execute

cgext03 ~ # genlop --current

I get...

!!! Error: no working merge found.

Thanks, 
Yuval Scharf

That would be correct, --current reports on an emerge in currently in
progress, so you see the above message when there's none in progress.

Hello,

I meant "whenever there is a merge going on...".

Me too. When I reinstalled my system in April, genlop -c works like a
charm. Sometime between then and now genlop -c no longer reports
anything when a emerge is going on.

It's broken due to some change in sandbox - known issue :)

If there's another release it'll hopefully be fixed (currently broken in 0.30.2
(x86) and 0.30.3 (~x86))

Hum, because of your post, I began to believe it is not only my
problem. And voila! A bug has been filed for it:

  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99823

It is caused by a change in behaviour in sandbox such that the file
/tmp/sandboxpids.tmp, which genlop uses to determine if a emerge is
going on, is no longer used, resulting in genlop never catching a
emerge. 

It is allegedly fixed in 0.30.4

There is a patch in the bugzilla thread if you really want the fix
now.
