Attempted to merge mythfrontend-0.18, it failed because ${S} needed to be manually set (ebuild is mythfrontend-0.18, src pkg is mythtv-0.18.tar.bz2). To fix this I set ${S} as such: S="${WORKDIR}/mythtv-${PV}" Just at end of the other variable declarations. It's now merging. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -v mythfrontend 2. 3. Actual Results: emerge died.

yeah, adding that "S=..." line right above the "pkg_setup() {" line worked for me. Since it's just a one-liner there's no need for a 'diff'.
Yeah, I forgot to retain a copy of the original ebuild. I just editted in place (didn't even use the overlay), sorry. I guess I got kinda lazy. But as mentioned, it's a one-liner.
I've had this problem with every new ebuild of mythfrontend. I wonder when they'll remember?
Don't forget to do "ebuild /usr/portage/media-tv/mythfrontend-0.18.ebuild manifest", of course. Chaning S appears to have fixed things for me, thanks.
Fixed InCVS
