How to Fix an Emerge Sandbox Error
- 1). Access the Bugzilla database, a debugging research database specifically for sandbox errors.
- 2). Find your sandbox error message within the error messages listed by using the “find” search tool and plugging in the exact language in your error message.
- 3). Examine the information provided about your specific sandbox error message to see if a fix is provided. If so, follow the directions for instituting the fix. If your specific error is not listed, use the fix provided for the error messages closest to yours.
- 4). Find the corrupted ebuild — if the above steps do not reveal the problem — using “Addpredict.” Access the sandbox shell and apply the Addpredict function to any suspect ebuild. The ebuild will be allowed to simulate a write to the live file system, which reveals a malfunctioning ebuild.
