See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209511#c3. Basically the following ewarn is generated for coverage-2.77: * //usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/coverage doesn't exist! * Byte compiling python modules for python-2.4 .. ... Will attach a trivial patch that fixes this problem.
Created attachment 156199 [details, diff] coverage-2.77.ebuild.patch This adds a PYTHON_MODNAME line so that routines in distutils.eclass properly recognize it (coverage installs only a file called coverage.py, and not a directory named so).
fixed in CVS. Thanks.
