Bug 386961 – Remove bundled gstreamer plugin(s) from www-client/opera and www-client/opera-next

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rom.gentoo 2011-10-12 18:12:06 UTC]

Despite emerging the Opera ebuilds without gstreamer support, some gstreamer-related files are installed in /usr/lib*/opera/gstreamer/plugins which interferes with Portage's preserve-libs feature. Among other things, it causes www-client/opera and www-client/opera-next to be re-emerged everytime emerge @preserved-rebuild is run.

Patching the ebuild to remove this directory during src_prepare fixes this problem without any apparent adverse effects.

Reproducible: Always
