Bug 117713 – [Patch] package.provided support is incomplete, due to /usr/local not being in the ebuild path

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description foo banana 2006-01-04 02:34:17 UTC]

Packages using provided dependencies may not be emergable if the build script involves executing a file. For example, on my system, I installed Imlib2 manually in /usr/local, and then tried emerging libcaca. libcaca could not build because it could not find the file imlib2-config, installed as /usr/local/bin/imlib2-config. One possible solution is to add /usr/local to /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh:

- export PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:${ROOTPATH}"
+ export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:${ROOTPATH}"

i'd actually change the order to PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:${ROOTPATH}

this is rev 3082

err, reopen since it's only fixed in trunk
