Hi!
When mergeing baselayout I got the following problem:
The ebuild tries to copy a '.keep' file to my /home filesys. The thing is that I automount each user directory (/home/<someuser>) from my server, which means that /home is not writable by anybody.
When doing emerge -up baselayout it states that i don't need to update anything, so it appears that the emerge did what it should anyway... I'm a bit confused...
What can/should I do?
I can't remember the exact error but I found out how to fix it yesterday. Unmount whatever is on /home and re-emerge.
I have /home mounted from an NFS server with root_squash and baselayout actually bombed out and didn't complete even though it looked like it did. Do you also see quite a few errors from the init scripts when you boot? In particular, do you see the following during boot:
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: KV_major: command not found /sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: KV_minor: command not found
If so, baselayout did not complete. Which means that not all of the init scripts were updated. I only found this out after comparing the installed /sbin/functions.sh to the one included in baselayout (/usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/files/rc-scripts-1.4.3.10p1.tar.bz2).
I intended on submitting a bug report but I haven't had the time. If you want to turn in a bug report, post here letting us know.
