emerge -uD world wants to downgrade openmotif from 2.2.2-r1 to 2.1.30-r3, but at the very end of the openmotif-2.1.30-r3 ebuild I get this:

Code:

 * Cleaning up X11 stuff
rm: cannot remove `/var/tmp/portage/openmotif-2.1.30-r3/image/usr/X11R6/bin/ll': No such file or directory

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/openmotif-2.1.30-r3 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 73, Exitcode 1
!!! rm /var/tmp/portage/openmotif-2.1.30-r3/image/usr/X11R6/bin/ll


Any ideas?

I had this too. Quick and dirty hack: It complains about a missing file which can't be removed: So why not give him that file? Get a cup of coffee, wait until all that "install -c ..." stuff shows up, then execute
Code:
touch /var/tmp/portage/openmotif-2.1.30-r3/image/usr/X11R6/bin/ll

Merged fine here :)

Thanks... that worked (as I had guessed it probably would). But I'm still concerned that it happened at all -- any idea why the build wanted to create a file named "/usr/X11R6/bin/ll"? More importantly, why would it want to delete it?
