Bugzilla Bug 82007

When I try to emerge xorg-x11-6.8.2 (and also a previous version IIRC),
everything seems to compile, but then it tries to migrate some things to new
places, and that fails (error below).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge xorg-x11
Actual Results:  
Everything compiles, then:

...
making executable: /usr/lib64/libxkbui.so.1.0
making executable: /usr/lib64/libxrx.so.6.8
making executable: /usr/lib64/libxrxnest.so.6.8
QA Notice: /usr/bin/Xorg is setXid, dynamically linked and using lazy bindings.
This combination is generally discouraged. Try: CFLAGS='-Wl,-z,now' emerge

Since filing the bug I had renamed /usr/lib/X11 to /usr/lib/X11-not, and then
tried again to emerge.  This emerge got interrupted by, uh, unscheduled
downtime.  I tried once more, and that time it worked fine.  I checked just
now, and I don't even have a /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2/ directory.  The
files I attached are from /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904/.  I had tried to
emerge that earlier, but it had failed in the same way 6.8.2 did.  I believe
one of the releases of 6.8.1.901 was the last version I had successfully
emerged.

Here's the problem:

X11/locale/lib/
delete_file: rmdir "/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib64" failed: Directory not empty
symlink "/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib64" -> "lib" failed: File exists

So, you can run `readlink -f` on these:
/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib64
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64

I had the same problem and I'm going to wait for a fix and try to help you out
with this.  So currently I have a dead X install.

augustus@glacier ~ $ readlink  -f /usr/lib/X11/locale/lib64
/usr/lib64/X11/locale/lib64
augustus@glacier ~ $ readlink  -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64
/usr/lib64/X11/locale/lib64

Alright, so the problem here is clear -- you've got a dir at
/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib64 for some unknown reason, so when the parallel
location in /usr/X11R6 tries to sync over a symlink, it fails miserably.

The questions: what's it doing there, and how'd it get there?

Try `readlink -f`:
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib/X11/locale

$ readlink -f /usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib64/X11

$ readlink -f /usr/lib/X11/locale
/usr/lib64/X11/locale

Does xorg-x11 provide those?

I ran 'qpkg -f' on those and no package claimed them.  Any idea on a fix?

Could you check in xorg-x11's ${D} whether /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64 and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64 are symlinks or dirs?

I have a feeling things may have switched around somehow between 6.8.0-r4 and
now.

What's the easiest way to do that?  It seems like no one else is responding but
me. :-)

Uh, `ls -ld` will do it.

Under 6.8.2, this is what I found:

glacier image # ls -ld usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64
ls: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64: No such file or directory
glacier image # ls -ld usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64
ls: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64: No such file or directory

I will remerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 and let you know what I find there.

Under 6.8.0-r4 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64 still does not exist but
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib does exist.  The lib64 directory may have come
from an install even before that but not cleaned up.  If this fix is necessary
for 6.8.2 then we should just fix it and move on.  Leave it marked ~amd64 and
let's see if it breaks anyone.  No backage is claiming that directory though.

I think some versions of the emul-xlibs provided stuff somewhere around there
-- can you check into it?

I'm having the same problem except I'm using -r1.

Actually, what's the problem?

I'm gonna mark this a duplicate because the other one actually has some useful
info.

I think it's yet another artifact of the emul-xlibs providing an incorrect
symlink in older versions.
