[gentoo-user] PORTAGE_TMPDIR and emerge sync

[Heinz Sporn]

Hi all!

Lately emerge sync behaves strange on all of my Gentoo boxes that use a 
non-standard temp dir for Portage.

The according /etc/make.conf's contain the following lines (amongst others):

PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/workdir/portage/tmp
PORTDIR=/workdir/portage
DISTDIR=${PORTDIR}/distfiles
PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages
PORT_LOGDIR=/workdir/portage/log/

These settings were fine for almost a year now.

But recently I recognized the following messages at the end of an emerge 
sync:

:
deleting tmp/timestamp.x
deleting tmp/timestamp.chk
deleting tmp/timestamp
deleting directory tmp
:
 >>> Updating Portage cache...   !!! Stating source file failed... 
movefile()
!!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/workdir/portage/tmp/timestamp.chk'
   ...done!

Well at least the last error message seems to be reasonable ...

Does anyone have a similar experience?
