Whenever i try to emerge KDE-META-4.1.2-r1, everything goes fine until the process suddenly dies with the following epitaph: ACCESS DENIED chmod: /usr/share/config chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/share/config': Permission denied First i thought it was a portage bug so i did an emerge --sync and found out that there was an update available, nevertheless, the problem was not fixed. Some more output: -- Installing /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1/image/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/sonnet/index.docbook -- Installing /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1/image/usr/share/man/man7/qtoptions.7 -- Installing /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1/image/usr/share/man/man1/kde4-config.1 ACCESS DENIED chmod: /usr/share/config chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/share/config': Permission denied >>> Completed installing kdelibs-4.1.2-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1/image/ --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-8733.log" chmod: /usr/share/config -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Failed to emerge kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.2-r1/temp/build.log' * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc' need updating. * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge * man page to learn how to update config files. !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: app-pda/libopensync-0.36 * - /usr/lib64/libopensync.so.0 * - /usr/lib64/libopensync.so.0.0.0 * used by /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kitchensync (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/kde3/libkitchensyncpart.so (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/libkitchensync.so.0.0.0 (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by 3 other files * - /usr/lib64/libosengine.so.0 * - /usr/lib64/libosengine.so.0.0.0 * used by /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kitchensync (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/kde3/libkitchensyncpart.so (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/libkitchensync.so.0.0.0 (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) * used by /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/libqopensync.so.0.0.0 (kde-base/kitchensync-3.5.9) >>> package: sys-fs/udev-130-r1 * - /lib64/libvolume_id.so.0 * - /lib64/libvolume_id.so.0.75.0 * used by /usr/libexec/hald-probe-storage (sys-apps/hal-0.5.9-r1) * used by /usr/libexec/hald-probe-volume (sys-apps/hal-0.5.9-r1) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries Since the emerge was not completed i do not dare to deal with the preserved libraries As usual, thanks in advance Humbly Rafael
