Bug 149464 – licq ebuilds install nothing at all with PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/PORTAGE_TMPDIR"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Clemens Noss 2006-09-28 17:24:12 UTC]

> emerge --info | grep PORTAGE_TMPDIR
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/PORTAGE_TMPDIR"

In this case, the line

rm -fR ${D}/$(echo ${D} | awk -F / '{print $2}')

removes everything that should have been installed, by removing $D/usr

Suggestion: remove it only  if echo $D | grep -qv /usr/

It seems to be harmless to not remove it, maybe print an "einfo" message.

Sorry, I don't understand. What's your PORTAGE_TMPDIR? PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/PORTAGE_TMPDIR" does't make any sense.

My $PORTAGE_TMPDIR is /usr/PORTAGE_TMPDIR/ to make bash-completion help me remember the variable name and the X buffer help me spell it (this was before I put it in /etc/make.conf).

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that $PORTAGE_TMPDIR starts with /usr/.

I tried a link /var/tmp/PORTAGE_TMPDIR/ -> /usr/PORTAGE_TMPDIR/, but the link is resolved before $D is set.
