Description:   Opened: 2004-07-15 14:29 0000 
While looking at my /usr/local I found out that app-misc/bins installed its
templates and locale into /usr/local/share instead of /usr/share. Looking at
the ebuild shows that the files were put there intentionally althogh /usr/local
should never be touched by ebuilds in the portage tree (except baselayout).
Here is the relevant section:

src_install() {
        echo "" |env DESTDIR=${D} PREFIX="/usr" ./install.sh || die
        # Fix for pathing
        for i in `grep -l portage ${D}/usr/bin/*`; do
                sed -i -e  "s:${D}:/:" ${i}
        done

        mkdir ${D}/usr/local
        mv ${D}/usr/share ${D}/usr/local/

        sed -i -e "s:/usr/share:/usr/local/share:" ${D}/usr/bin/bins

}


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-misc/bins

Actual Results:  
The bins templates and locale are installed into /usr/local/share

Expected Results:  
Templates and locale should be under /usr/share

I thought the same thing. Never seen Aron make mistakes like this...

has nothing to do with Aron

was introduced with 1.1.26 and Bug 52088

I am the original reporter of bug 52088. Note, that I tried to pursuade Michael
to use /usr/share instead of /usr/local/share (see bug 52088 comment 2 point
#2). To which Michael replied that /usr/local came from upstream (see bug 52088
comment 3). Sorry if I caused any problems (sheephish grin).

my head on a platter is now committed.
