Bugzilla Bug 164267

I get the following error when I try to emerge fastthread-0.5.3.1:

I got the problem too. Look earlier for the problem though:

>>> Test phase [not enabled]: dev-ruby/fastthread-0.5.3.1

>>> Install fastthread-0.5.3.1 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/fastthread-0.5.3.1/image/ category dev-ruby
make: /bin/install: Command not found

As a quick workaround, do ln -s /usr/bin/install /bin/install.
Remove the link after the emerge though...

Once more the question: Why does this bug still occur even if this bug resp.
the bug from which this is a duplicate (bug 159922) is closed as fixed?

If this bug was fixed it shouldn't occur anymore.

Btw, a workaround is not really a fix if the "FIXED" means the workaround.

The fix is in the orignal bug: Please reemerge ruby.
