Full Text Bug Listing

sys-apps/coreutils-6.7-r1 moved /bin/install to /usr/bin/install. For one
thing, this change appears to break some ruby packages that use the extconf.rb
system:

# emerge ruby-libglade2
[...]
>>> Install ruby-libglade2-0.16.0-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-libglade2-0.16.0-r1/image/ category dev-ruby
/bin/install -c -m 0755 libglade2.so
/var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-libglade2-0.16.0-r1/image//usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux
make: /bin/install: Command not found
make: ***
[/var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-libglade2-0.16.0-r1/image//usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/libglade2.so]
Error 127

!!! ERROR: dev-ruby/ruby-libglade2-0.16.0-r1 failed.

One solution would be to symlink /bin/install to /usr/bin/install. However, the
ancient bug #39648 suggests some other reasons why install should be in /bin.

Perhaps simply installing install into /bin is the best idea.

apps shouldnt be hard coding paths

install path is unfortunately hard-coded when installing ruby. A workaround is
reemerge ruby

I have a similar problem with pppoe-start. It is looking for /bin/id, which
moved into /usr/bin

Moshe, pppoe-start doesn't relate to this bug really. Please open another bug
for it.

This patch was inspired by Eric Hodel (override mkmf.rb)

The previous patch touches RUBYOPT so rubygems ebuilds need to be adjusted.

gems packages were _not_ fixed (I thought it would use ruby_src_unpack but it
in fact did not). gems.eclass is fixed now (revision 1.15). Everybody whose
bugs are marked duplicated please test and feedback.
Thank you.

*** Bug 164392 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Sorry, have I missed something here? Given the flood of dupes, this doesn't
appear to be fixed at all...

Will we call this an "amarok effect"? ;) (which now pulls in mongrel ruby
server)

Oh I forgot another thing :( I focused on ebuild installation only. This bug
still remains if you install things by hand (even via rubygems)
Maybe it's time to make a version bump for dev-lang/ruby

Bumping dev-lang/ruby may cause people to run into bug 161566 now that autoconf
2.61 is stable. If possible I think it would be good to have a resolution on
this first, although I don't know how many people still use glibc 2.3.x

Every normal sparc user still uses glibc-2.3.x (only place it is unmasked is in
an experimental gcc-4.1.x profile at the moment)

The "Amarok Effect" ...

Can confirm that remerging Ruby fixed the problem with installing Fastthread

also can confirm re-emerging ruby fixes this.

confirming, that re-emerging ruby fixes this
Maybe those who upgrade amaroK should be notified that this might be necessary.

People stop confirming the issue, this bug is already noisy enough as it is due
to users that don't bother themselves with searching for duplicates. :(

I can confirm that this patch allows fastthread to install.

I'm tempted to close this bug as CANTFIX. This bug is unlikely to happen again
in the near future. And no report for two months. Any other ideas?

Perhaps it is a good idea to leave the bug open for some time, because
coreutils-6.7 is now being marked stable on several arches (I noticed it on
amd64 this morning). So many people will only run into this now, and if we
close the bug less people will find it leading to many duplicates.

Or give warning in preinst/postinst

Although I doubt this, I have modified all dev-lang/ruby ebuilds and hoped
somebody would notice the message.

Did you open a bug for this?

Please don't; there's already one with zillion of duplicates; plus you
shouldn't be using this stuff at all.

Jakub:

Could you give me a reference to this bug?  Also, I don't understand your last
comment.  Who shouldn't be using what?

(In reply to comment #63)
> Could you give me a reference to this bug?  

Maybe you could just use search and find Bug 159747 and loads of duplicates? 

> Also, I don't understand your last comment.  Who shouldn't be using what?

You shouldn't use pppoe-start at all.

*** Bug 174797 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I just tried to emerge ruby-mysql and got the /bin/install error.

I then tried to "emerge -av dev-lang/ruby dev-ruby/mysql-ruby" and got the same
error...

Then I realized that you all are talking about 1.8.5_p12, which is masked and
_p2 is the one that I remerged. Ironic that mysql-ruby is marked stable though?

Can you please mark 1.8.5_p35 (or _p12) as stable then?

Closing this bug; re-emerge ruby if you hit this issue.

*** Bug 178228 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I've bumped the currently stable ruby-1.8.5_p2 to ruby-1.8.5_p2-r1 and filed
bug 178346 to stabilize this as soon as possible. This will cause ruby users to
recompile their ruby and thus solve the issue.

I have not added a dependency on coreutils-6.7-r1 because this would cause
problems stabling this ebuild for some profiles (mostly the selinux versions).
These profiles will have to deal with the issue at a later date.

*** Bug 178440 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

How about a warning when coreutils is upgraded?

Fixed on sparc by ruby-1.8.5_p2-r1 (Bug 178346).
