Bug 120931 – sci-astronomy/celestia-1.4.0: emerge installs files in /var/tmp/portage

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bernard Cafarelli 2006-01-30 05:27:55 UTC]

I'm trying to get new celestia version (1.4) working on my box. After a few segfaults, I completely removed it from my system and re-emerged it.

But it looks like the latest access-violation fixes (according to the changelog) now causes emerge to install all files from /usr/share/celestia in /var/tmp/portage/celestia-1.4.0/image/usr/share/celestia/ (which quickly gets cleaned out after the merge). I'll attach the output of 'equery f celestia'

Btw, I tried emerging it on my work box (x86) and I did not see this behavior... A n arch-specific bug for files in /usr/share?

Output of 'equery f celestia'

[Comment 2 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2006-01-30 15:02:57 UTC]

please try without the overlays and report back

[Comment 3 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2006-01-30 15:04:22 UTC]

side note: since i am testing this on amd64 it is doubtful this is specific to the arch

[Comment 4 Bernard Cafarelli 2006-01-30 16:24:11 UTC]

Nothing changed with PORTDIR_OVERLAY commented and re-emerging dependencies and celestia (nothing related to celestia dependances in my overlay anyway)

However I noticed that this problem only happens when USE="gnome -gtk -kde". USE="-gnome gtk -kde" and USE="-gnome -gtk kde" both install the files in the correct places.
src_install() does not use the same install method with gnome GUI (gnome2_src_install instead of einstall), maybe there's another datadir redefinition somewhere in it?

[Comment 5 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2006-01-30 21:43:13 UTC]

found the gnome part to cause this, it is worked around in portage, wait around 2 hours, sync and it should merge fine for you now.

gnome people: why is gnome2_src_install ending up putting files there? can you look at this? thanks

[Comment 6 Bernard Cafarelli 2006-01-31 10:10:21 UTC]

Workaround worked fine, thanks!

Also if it helps, I re-checked on my x86 box, and celesia did got emerged fine with USE=gnome

[Comment 7 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2006-01-31 17:23:32 UTC]

does the x86 have both kde and gnome in USE? then kde is used and it would work

[Comment 8 Bernard Cafarelli 2006-02-01 01:55:59 UTC]

Both boxes have almost the same USE flags (apart from mmx, 3dnow, multilib & co of course):

[ebuild   R   ] sci-astronomy/celestia-1.4.0  USE="gnome gtk nls threads -arts -debug -kde -lua" 24,457 kB 

I emerged it on the x86 on January 30th, so this was the same ebuild

[Comment 9 Disenchanted (RETIRED) 2006-02-04 19:49:46 UTC]

ok, closing this since i worked around it and i get nothing else on here

thanks Bernard
