/usr/lib/quicktime != /usr/include/quicktime, please fix the einfo. Conrad, you need to delete /usr/include/quicktime, the check is correct, just the message is not. In my case media-video/cinelerra-cvs-20051005 owns the directory. Created attachment 76189 [details, diff]
libquicktime-0.9.7-r1.ebuild.patch to fix typo
Fixes the typo so that error makes sense to the user.
Doesn't address the issue of other software creating an actual /usr/include/quicktime directory (such cinelerra-cvs).
Hi I was upgrading from libquicktime-0.9.4 to 0.9.7-r1. I got the message, but libquicktime-0.9.4 was owning the directory. I had to manually unmerge the 0.9.4 to make the directory /usr/include/quicktime desapear before merging the testing version. It could be hard to make the ebuild aware of this, but we should find a solution. i guess unmerging the old version before trying to compile the new has no chance to be accepted in a ebuild... *** Bug 128293 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** fixed |
