When I install thunderbird-0.7 I get the following error: >>> /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/xpt_link * Extracting thunderbird-0.7 initialization files tar: /var/tmp/portage-pkg/mozilla-thunderbird-0.7/inf/files/thunderbird-0.7-init.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~x86 or add =mail-client/thunderbird-0.7 to ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords 2. emerge thunderbird 3. Extracting the thunderbird-0.7-init.tar.bz2 manualy in the /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird directory works without any problem.
Ok, thanks. I have a fix for this and I'm testing it. I'm guessing you have FEATURES=buildpkg, right?
Yes. I have "FEATURES=buildpkg".
ok, all fixed in portage, thanks for the bug report! The problem was that I was attempting to unpack a tarball from ${FILESDIR} from the pkg_postinst function. That's the wrong thing to do... should have been doing it from src_install so that (1) FILESDIR is actually available, and (2) the files can be tracked. It should be on your local portage mirror in an hour or so.
