Tried to install acroread 7.0.1.1 and it failed:

>>> /opt/Acrobat7/Reader/HowTo/DEU/images -> Images/
chmod: missing operand after „755“
„chmod --help“ gibt weitere Informationen.

!!! ERROR: app-text/acroread-7.0.1.1 failed.


I'm using a locale of de_DE, thus AdobeReader_deu-7.0.1-1.i386.rpm is used. The
error happens with USE=-nls and thus AdobeReader_enu-7.0.1-1.i386.rpm as well.



There are also some more benign errors reg. chmod shown at the start of the
emerge:

please try the 7.0.5 that i commited in CVS.

Confirmed. 7.0.5 works.

Reopening.

The following warning still shows:

>>> Install acroread-7.0.5 into /Gentoo/portage/tmp/portage/acroread-7.0.5/image/ category app-text
chown: -R --dereference requires either -H or -L
chown: -R --dereference requires either -H or -L

Further, there's now the following new warning:

dodoc: Browser/Browser_Plugin_HowTo.txt does not exist
man:

Created an attachment (id=76597) [edit]
Patch against 7.0.5.ebuild, which allows it to be installed when INSTALLDIR is
a symlink

Reopening for sure.

On a different machine, installation still is not possible:

>>> /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/nppdf.so
chmod: missing operand after 755
chmod --help gibt weitere Informationen.

!!! ERROR: app-text/acroread-7.0.5 failed.

I suppose the error is because of the following lines in the ebuild:

pkg_postinst () {
    # fix wrong directory permissions (bug #25931)
    find ${INSTALLDIR} -type d | xargs chmod 755 || die

Seems that the find doesn't return anything.

Reason for this error:

[08:44:09 vz6tml@dewup-ww02:~] $ ls -la /opt/Acrobat7
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16  6. Jan 12:25 /opt/Acrobat7 -> /0d/opt/Acrobat7


To fix the issue, the following should be run:

    find ${INSTALLDIR}/. -type d | xargs chmod 755 || die

Or maybe:

    find ${INSTALLDIR} -type d -follow | xargs chmod 755 || die

Attaching a patch which fixes it in the first way (/.). It also fixes the other
small error with chown.

There's still some other minor issue, though - the Browser_Plugin_HowTo.txt
doesn't get installed anymore. Reason: it's now in a subdirectory which is
named according to the nls version the user has set. Ie.: If the user is using
AdobeReader_deu-7.0.5-1.i386.rpm, it will be in a DEU directory; if the user is
using AdobeReader_fra-7.0.5-1.i386.rpm, it will be in a FRA directory etc.pp.. 

Why is that not bug not fixed in -r1 (according to the changelog, at least)?

sorry, I guess we have just forgotten this. I have now changed the ebuild.
Thank you
