Bug 588070 – www-client/seamonkey-2.40[-gmp-autoupdate] fails to install

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Lethbridge 2016-07-05 15:04:23 UTC]

www-client/seamonkey-2.40.ebuild fails at install phase when USE flag gmp-autoupdate is disabled (USE='-gmp-autoupdate') due to an invalid directory string @ line 279.

seamonkey-2.40.ebuild, line 279:
"${S}/${BUILD_OBJ_DIR}/dist/bin/browser/defaults/preferences/all-gentoo.js" \

should be changed to
"${BUILD_OBJ_DIR}/dist/bin/defaults/pref/all-gentoo.js" \

same here

copying the error into coment to make it easier to find:

Yep -- syntax error in src_install().  Fixed now in 2.39 and 2.40

[Comment 5 Patrice Levesque 2016-07-20 23:12:34 UTC]

Not fixed, at least in 2.40:

Line 279, needed (as in bug description):
"${BUILD_OBJ_DIR}/dist/bin/defaults/pref/all-gentoo.js"

in current ebuild:
"${BUILD_OBJ_DIR}/dist/bin/browser/defaults/preferences/all-gentoo.js"

ok no problem, i'll adjust and re-fix as soon as I can.

Any news about this?

still fails, despite seamonkey saw some updates meanwhile ... this helped me so it no longer blocks my world updates:

I've reproduced this issue, and fixed it in the 2.40 ebuild.
