Description steveb 2004-06-18 04:17:21 UTC

When I install thunderbird-0.7 I get the following error:
>>> /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/xpt_link
 * Extracting thunderbird-0.7 initialization files
tar: /var/tmp/portage-pkg/mozilla-thunderbird-0.7/inf/files/thunderbird-0.7-init.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~x86 or add =mail-client/thunderbird-0.7 to ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords
2. emerge thunderbird
3.




Extracting the thunderbird-0.7-init.tar.bz2 manualy in the 
/usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird directory works without any problem.

Ok, thanks.  I have a fix for this and I'm testing it.

I'm guessing you have FEATURES=buildpkg, right?

Yes. I have "FEATURES=buildpkg".

ok, all fixed in portage, thanks for the bug report!

The problem was that I was attempting to unpack a tarball from ${FILESDIR} from the pkg_postinst function.  That's the wrong thing to do... should have been doing it from src_install so that (1) FILESDIR is actually available, and (2) the files can be tracked.

It should be on your local portage mirror in an hour or so.
