Full Text Bug Listing

The current stable package net-print/hplip-1.7.4a-r2 leaves a file called
dll.conf on /var/tmp/portage i.e. outside of the emerge folder.

This doesn't seem to do any harm except the fact that this could be a potential
issue to other files and a security problem too.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge hplip
2. check /var/tmp/portage
3.

Forgot to add: emerge --info

No big deal but not very clean either, so I fixed it. Note that the ebuild for
the newer 2.x branch had the same issue. Thanks for reporting this.

Was the fix added to portage?

I'm having this problem again with the same version, i.e. latest stable,
net-print/hplip-1.7.4a-r2.

(In reply to comment #3)
> Was the fix added to portage?

Yes, but in the new generation stuff only. I've just asked for stabilization
for it.

Denis.

OK thanks for the info.

Will leave it open until next stable comes out or this version is no longer
needed in portage.

Please close the bug when the next stable comes out.

Thanks again for your time and support.

I just upgraded to the new stable version: hplip-2.7.10

The dll.conf is still left behind. It seems that is not fixed yet...

This should definitely be fixed with hplip-2.8.2 thanks partly to a fix I just
committed in sane-backends.

Denis.
