sys-cluster/ganglia-monitor-core overwrites /usr/include/error.h which is then very confusing (e.g. emerge elfutils). Bob
Chad, could you please look into this as you contributed the ebuild?
Yikes sorry about that. I'll submit a new ebuild. chad

Comment on attachment 17133 [details] ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.4.ebuild (Update) OK as far as I can tell, ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.3 was incorrectly placing it's include files in /usr/include instead of the intended /usr/include/ganglia (noted because make install was creating an empty directory /usr/include/ganglia but putting the files in /usr/include). Of course I should have caught this in the initial ebuild. ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.4 seems to have fixed this problem so I think it would be best to just submit a new ebuild for 2.5.4 and place a warning that anyone upgrading from 2.5.3 should verify that /usr/include/error.h still exists for glibc. I'm attaching the new masked ebuild with a warning- if any more experienced gentoo people could check if this is the right thing to do when a package overwrites a more important file from another package, I would appreciate it. chad
I checked in the corrected ebuild. Chad: Thanks for your quick response. Bob: Could you please check if the 2.5.4 ebuild corrects the issues you experienced and report back so i can close this bug?
As i got no response i'm closing this bug now.
