Bugzilla Bug 159076

mail-client/claws-mail-2.6.1 fails with USE=kde:

 * Installing kde service scripts

It manages to emerge fine and works as it always had (under the old name of
sylpheed-claws) when I set USE=-kde:

# emerge -vp claws-mail

[...]

[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/claws-mail-2.6.1  USE="crypt dillo doc imap ipv6
pda spell ssl -bogofilter -clamav -gnome -kde -ldap -spamassassin

It's probably some kde*.eclass function that's failing. I might provide a patch
if I care enough to find out what the problem is. :)

The same thing happens to me:

 * Installing kde service scripts
install: cannot create regular file
`/var/tmp/portage/mail-client/claws-mail-2.6.1/image///usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/claws-mail-attach-files.desktop':

The problem is, that in the old sylpheed-claws, the emerge process didn't stop
when installing the kde service-menu entries.
But now it stops.

I have a small fix for it. I have added a line in src_install which simply
creates the necessary directories before installing  the service menu *.desktop
files.

i have changed following part in src_install():

from this:
 if use kde; then
                einfo "Installing kde service scripts"
                local kdeprefix="$(kde-config --prefix)"
                local servicescript="claws-mail-kdeservicemenu.pl"
                cd ${S}/tools/kdeservicemenu
                for f in claws-mail-attach-files.desktop; do
                        sed -e
"s:SCRIPT_PATH:${kdeprefix}/bin/${servicescript}:g" template_$f > $f
                        install -m 0644 $f
${D}/${kdeprefix}/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/$f || die
                done
                insinto ${kdeprefix}/bin
                doexe ${servicescript} || die
        fi

to this:

 if use kde; then
                einfo "Installing kde service scripts"
                local kdeprefix="$(kde-config --prefix)"
                local servicescript="claws-mail-kdeservicemenu.pl"
                cd ${S}/tools/kdeservicemenu
                # create the kde-dirs so that make install is happy
                mkdir -p ${D}/${kdeprefix}/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
                for f in claws-mail-attach-files.desktop; do
                        sed -e
"s:SCRIPT_PATH:${kdeprefix}/bin/${servicescript}:g" template_$f > $f
                        install -m 0644 $f
${D}/${kdeprefix}/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/$f || die
                done
                insinto ${kdeprefix}/bin
                doexe ${servicescript} || die
        fi

This should be fixed in claws-mail-2.6.1 now - just sync in few hours (or CVS
up, right, jer? :) ).
