execvp: catkin_generated/env_cached.sh: Text file busy

Hi,

I get the following strange error from time to time when building a catkin package (called PACKAGE here). If I just do a catkin build again, it typically works. It also happens for different packages with no clear structure.

I use the following packages

% dpkg -l | grep catkin
ii  python-catkin-pkg                                     0.3.1-1                                             all          catkin package library
ii  python-catkin-pkg-modules                             0.3.1-1                                             all          catkin package library
ii  python-catkin-tools                                   0.4.4-1                                             all          Command line tools for working with catkin.
ii  ros-jade-catkin                                       0.6.18-0trusty-20160318-200207-0700                 amd64        Low-level build system macros and infrastructure for ROS.

under ubuntu 14.04.

I don't know, whether this is a catkin or a catkin-tools error -- it might be the latter as well...?!?

If the problem happens when you invoke catkin build please report the issue to catkin_tools instead (please look to the new ticket and close this one).

If the problem happens with catkin_make or catkin_make_isolated please provide the steps to reproduce the problem here.

Closed here and reopened in catkin_tools.
