Bugzilla Bug 73139

pdflib 5.0.4_p1 creates a /usr/perlX and a /usr/pythonX.X directory. These
directories do not belong in /usr.

This is because the ebuild does now know the $(get_libdir) function without an
"inherit eutils".
Adding that yields a QA Notice upon merge but does the job perfectly otherwise.

Everything worked fine to me without the "inherit eutils". Are you using the
latest portage?

Yes. This is my emerge info:

I'm not being able to reproduce this here (neither the /usr/python nor the QA
Notice).
could you tell me what is the QA notice you get?

AFAIK, the $(get_libdir) function should be available all the time (even
without eutils). So my guess is something else is wrong. 

Changing the ebuild like this:

Ok, I think I got it.
first, check if you've etc-updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh correctly, there must be a get_libdir() function there (that's why you shouldn't have to add eutils for the ebuild to work).

If this file isn't updated, you'll have to re-emerge baselayout.

If the function is there, there may be something wrong with you ${CONF_LIBDIR_OVERRIDE} or ${CONF_LIBDIR} function. I don't think this is the case, since einstall (the rest of the /usr/lib/* installs) are finding the libdir correctly. They may be set in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/rc.conf, I guess.

So I think that's it.

Principally, you're right about the missing function, but...
I re-emerged baselayout, but still do not have get_libdir in functions.sh.

Version-tag of functions.sh:
$Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/sbin/functions.sh,v 1.52 2004/05/21 15:22:12 agriffis Exp $

Baselayout is at version 1.9.4-r6.

Created an attachment (id=45350) [edit]
pdflib-5.0.4_p1.ebuild to pdflib-5.0.4_p1-r1.ebuild

patch to add "inherit eutils" on pdflib ebuild.

We have got it. The current ebuild was requesting get_libdir() to be globally
defined (on functions.sh) but this is only available on baselayout-1.11 which
is still unstable (~arch). Therefore, I've inherited eutils on the ebuild.
Everything  should work now.

Fixed in cvs.
