AFAIK, the original bug pertaining to this issue is 9849, which specifically dealt with baselayout installation failures due to writing .keep files on r/o filesystems. Baselayout now has a workaround (kdir and unkdir) which avoids the issue, but breaks portage's tracking of .keep files. Bug 9849 has been marked a duplicate of 23851, but there is a distinction between the two: 23851 would be "solved" by pre-failing the merge phase if it is predicted to fail (permissions, diskspace). But 9849 is pretty specific to .keep files and directory creation, and needs to finish the merge even if some of those fail. Regards, Aron -- Aron Griffis Gentoo Linux Developer
