Summary:	app-crypt/johntheripper v1.6.38 (unstable) doesn't install charset files

Description Matthias Bethke 2005-12-06 16:51:13 UTC

As mentioned on http://www.openwall.com/john/ , the development versions of
johntheripper don't come with any charset files, but as they are required you
have to get them from the stable archives. Unmerging 1.6 and merging 1.6.38
leaves you without them, so the ebuild should always download the latest stable
archive as well. Installing the files by hand is easy but leaves the system
inconsistent with the ebuild database.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge johnthripper
2. ls /usr/share/john
3. echo "app-crypt/johntheripper ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
4. emerge johnthripper
5. ls /usr/share/john
Actual Results:  
mb@huxley ~ $ ls /usr/share/john/
ls: /usr/share/john/: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  
mb@huxley ~ $ ls /usr/share/john/
all.chr  alpha.chr  digits.chr  john-dailyscript  lanman.chr  password.lst

I've added 1.6.40 which does include the charsets.

It is currently masked for testing and to fix a TEXTREL associated with it.

Can you please test it by adding =app-crypt/johntheripper-1.6.40 to /etc/portage/package.mask and emergeing it.

In particular please test john is using the paths correctly for config and all other files it uses.

Thanks.
