Bug 77558 – doenvd doesn't create appropriate directories (and has a typo)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 69896
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Colin Macdonald 2005-01-11 10:25:56 UTC]

if [ ${#} -lt 1 ] ; then
        echo "doinfo: at least one argument needed"
        exit 1
fi

should probably read:
  echo "doenvd: at least..."

I've found something else that might be a bug in doenvd.

The following code in src_install:

echo "VTK_DATA_ROOT=/usr/share/${PN}/data" >> ${T}/40${PN}
doenvd ${T}/40${PN}

fails with this error:
install: cannot create regular file `/var/tmp/portage/vtk-4.2.6-r5/image//etc/env.d/': No such file or directory

But this code works:
echo "VTK_DATA_ROOT=/usr/share/${PN}/data" >> ${T}/40${PN}
dodir /etc/env.d
doenvd ${T}/40${PN}

However, "man 5 ebuild" claims that doenvd "Creates all necessary dirs".  So either doenvd or the manpage are incorrect.

Also,
The ebuild process doesn't stop though and "doenvd blah || die" doesn't stop either.  Even if the manpage is wrong (rather than doenvd), the ebuild process should stop on errors.

This bug doesn't seem to happen on my friend's system.  He is running x86 (not sure what portage that is but I'm fairly certain he is running the latest).  I'm using ~x86 portage 2.0.51-r8.  Could be related.
