+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #379899 +++ The ebuild goes at lines 142-143: dosym /${BASE}/bin/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so \ /usr/$(get_libdir)/kde4/ Which looks like incorrect usage of dosym according to http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/4/pms.html. Second argument must be full path to intended symlink, not just directory. This very thing breaks install when paludis is used instead of emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to install said package with paludis. Actual Results: Does not install. Expected Results: Installs.
Next version of Portage will output a QA warning for this, therefore the ebuild should be fixed. See tracker bug 379899 for discussion.
Fixed (no revbump) I suppose I just assumed 'dosym' would be equivalent to the behaviour of 'ln -s', and didn't see the value of retyping the filename a second time. Whichever: I am happy to conform to the spec :)
