Bug 169141 – dev-java/sun-jdk - /opt/${P} does not get removed on unmerge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2007-03-03 15:36:35 UTC]

When unmerging and re-emerging a sun-jdk, Portage bails out because of file  collisions.

/opt/${P}

|   |-- java
|   |-- javac
|   |-- javadoc
|   `-- javah
`-- jre
    `-- bin

What versions of sun-jdk are we talking about here?

At least for dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.13 I can't reproduce this. Are you sure you haven't for example modified these binaries using pax-utils at some point?

That's the right pointer. But not I have, you have. :) Is there a reason to run chpax within pkg_postinst() instead src_install()/${D}/...?

Nope and that's why all but 1.4* do it there. It seems this version was not migrated to use pax-utils.eclass which I just did in -r1.
