unlink ACCESS VIOLATIONs
 

Hi,

I think I've got my gentoo installation all effed up. I went a few weeks
without doing a --sync followed by a emerge -uD world. On top of that I,
I installed my own version of Python 2.5.1 from the source tarball off
of python.org. Now, after a --sync, when I do an emerge -uD world I will
see ACCESS DENIED errors when unlink is called on *.pyc files. An
example summary is given below. I searched the forums for similiar
problems. Solutions that worked for other people involved re-emerging
particular packages. I tried that and it didn't work for me. Can I fix
this mess? Or is my system fubar? Any ideas?

Why is unlink getting ACCESS DENIED errors when I run emerge as sudo?

Thanks,
Tom

After a python upgrade, most people run python-updater to recompile
all the python bytecodes. That's supposed to solve the above
problem. Alternatively, you can use a script like the one I've attached.

I seem to have gotten past the unlink issue. I modified the first line
of emerge from:

#!/usr/bin/python -O

to:

#!/usr/local/bin/python -O

This seems to be solution even though I had symlinks
from /usr/bin/python -> /usr/local/bin/python. The emerge -uD is working
nicely now. It is on packet 5 of 8. Where, before, it would fail on the
first package.
