Description Lee Harr 2006-03-31 13:31:51 UTC
At the end of the ebuild is this section...

pkg_preinst() {
        if [[ -d /usr/include/quicktime && ! -L /usr/include/quicktime ]]; then
                einfo "For compatibility with other quicktime libraries, ${PN} was"
                einfo "going to create a /usr/lib/quicktime symlink, but for some,"
                einfo "on your system, that is a directory."
                einfo "Please check that is empty, and remove it, or submit a bug"
                einfo "telling us which package owns the directory."
                die "/usr/include/quicktime is a directory."
        fi
}



It is trying to create /usr/include/quicktime, but the message talks instead about /usr/lib/quicktime.

Also,

# equery belongs /usr/include/quicktime
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/include/quicktime in *... ]
media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.4 (/usr/include/quicktime)


I am not sure where the /usr/include/quicktime link should point.
