Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-09 15:00:08 UTC
Summary pretty much says it all; emacs-cvs tries to prune a file from ${D} in pkg_postinst, problem is that postinst is ran *after* merging has occurred.

Meaning, pruning from ${D} doesn't do anything in pkg_postinst.

Looks like an aftermath of bug #162675 ...

IMHO removal of the compressed dir file isn't the business of the Emacs ebuild, but should be handled by portage.

However, prepinfo only removes dir{,.info}{,.gz,.bz2} in the top-level info directory, but does not care for its subdirectories.

 I contacted Zac Medico about that.

Fixed, thanks for notification...
