Will check whether it succeeds when I turn off tracemode after I attach my logfile...

OK, checked, and yup, turning off tracemode was all that it took for it to succeed... Maybe this is an issue with tracemode itself? If that is the case, then I probably should have cc-ed cal, considering that he has been the main person working on tracemode...

Interesting. I wonder if this is somehow connected with #42428? Is tracemode already released?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

/var/folders and /private/var/folders are in the whitelist of trace mode. /var however, is not. This wouldn't be a problem if the build didn't try to mkdir(/var) – and it actually shouldn't be a problem when calling mkdir(2) for a directory that already exists (even though it's a symlink in this case).

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

I also cannot reproduce the problem. Aquaterm builds just fine in tracemode for me.

To answer whether tracemode is released yet: It has always been, but the version that's in the current latest release has serious bugs that make its results erratic at best.

[g5pw (Aljaž Srebrnič)]

It looks like we hit a bug in base, then.
