Bug 253586 – [ebuild] kde-base/pykde4 installs wrong *.pyc files, other KDE4 packages fails to emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Oldrich Jedlicka 2009-01-03 18:18:02 UTC]

KDE applications using python fail during configure phase with sandbox error (log taken from /var/log/sandbox/sandbox*.log):

unlink:    /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyKDE4/__init__.pyc
unlink:    /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyKDE4/pykdeconfig.pyc

The root cause is wrong pyc - it is not generated in pkg_postinst of pykde4's ebuild, but during build, so it contains reference to original python source file /var/tmp/portage...

Workaround for this is to modify ebuild - do not install those pyc files, but generate them via python_mod_optimize.

Updated ebuild containing partial workaround for python-2.6

The workaround in attached patch fixes pyc files in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/PyKDE4/* only. There are more pyc files that probably need to be fixed too (located at /usr/kde/4.2/share/apps/pykde4, if you do use "kdeprefix" USE flag).

I forgot to note that this is python-2.6 problem, python-2.5 looks like it is happy.

Updated ebuild with workaround - simplified to utilize fix from bug #253593

With the fix from bug #253593 the python_version function can be used again.

Patch for ebuild - simplified one

[Comment 7 Oldrich Jedlicka 2009-01-03 22:00:01 UTC]

The changes are only in new methods src_install, pkg_postinst and pkg_postrm.

When using distributed version control, there should be no such problems like that. Just `git stash`, copy my version in your tree and you will see the changes via gitk (assumes you are using kde-testing via git).

On overlay -> fixored.
