Bug 68878 – [QA] emerge of tetex-2.0.2-r3 fails with maketest in FEATURES (BibTex fails to find/open some database files)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description schaedpq 2004-10-25 12:03:28 UTC]

Attempting to emerge app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 with the maketest FEATURE throws an error during the test phase (make check), see below.
I can only reproduce this error, if tetex is not installed before the emerge. If tetex is already installed, "emerge -b tetex" is succesful even with "maketest" in FEATURES.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C tetex
2. insert "maketest" into FEATURES
3. emerge tetex

Actual Results:  
emerge aborts during the test phase

Expected Results:  
emerging the ebuild correctly

This is the output of "emerge -b tetex":

Priority is low at the moment, but I'll fix it after tetex-3 is released.
Thanks for the bug report.

Done in -r9, and tetex-3 is out and stable.
