Bug 267734 – media-sound/pulseaudio ebuild installs wrong init.d script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Max Arnold 2009-04-28 06:37:46 UTC]

When pulseaudio-0.9.9 compiled without alsa, avahi, hal and bluetooth USE-flags, it places copy of /etc/conf.d/pulseaudio to /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and fails to start.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
USE="-alsa -avahi -hal -bluetooth" emerge pulseaudio
cat /etc/init.d/pulseaudio

Are you sure? Init script itself is fine, there is error in the ebuild.
From src_install:

use alsa && neededservices="$neededservices alsasound"
        use avahi && neededservices="$neededservices avahi-daemon"
        use hal && neededservices="$neededservices hald"
        use bluetooth && neededservices="$neededservices bluetooth"
(1)     [[ -n ${neededservices} ]] && sed -e "s/@neededservices@/need $neededservices/" "${FILESDIR}/pulseaudio.init.d-2" > "${T}/pulseaudio"
(2)     doinitd "${T}/pulseaudio"

If all use flags are unset, neededservices variable is empty and line (1) not executed. But line (2) still tries to install "${T}/pulseaudio", which contains conf.d file left from previous steps.
