Description Adam Penser 2006-03-26 15:27:41 UTC
I am trying a fresh install of gnome-light (I already have xfce4 installed, so this is just another wm option).  Everything works fine until the emerge of both gnome-panel and gnome-terminal (the versions I am trying are 2.12.3 and 2.12.0, respectively).  Now, I did try unmasking the 2.14 versions to see if something was fixed, but this is (I assure you) not a bug about those versions.  They don't work either.  So I remasked them and tried again, first re-emerging scrollkeeper to see if something was wrong there.  No help.
I have just updated to modular X.org (7), and this may have something to do with the problem.  Each time I try to emerge either gnome package, I wind up with the fatal error of QA concerns interrupting the install.

I have "fixed" the error, however.  I have not fully tested it, so I don't know how effective my changes were.  This is what I did.

in each of the ebuilds, I either added "gnome2_omf_fix" to the src_unpack() section, or I changed the "unpack ${A} (and sometimes cd ${S})" sections to gnome2_src_unpack .

These changes at least allowed me to install gnome-panel and gnome-terminal.  And they seem to be working.  I know that the OMF Makefile fixes are tried on gdm and such packages (which I also installed), so I am not sure why they are not used with the gnome-terminal and gnome-panel packages.
