Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-28 05:56:39 UTC 
>>> Completed installing ntfsprogs-1.12.1 into /var/tmp/portage/ntfsprogs-1.12.1/image/

>>> Merging sys-fs/ntfsprogs-1.12.1 to /
--- /usr/
--- /usr/include/

!!! Cannot write to '/usr/include/ntfs'.
!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.
!!! You may start the merge process again by using ebuild:
!!! ebuild /usr/portage/sys-fs/ntfsprogs/ntfsprogs-1.12.1.ebuild merge
!!! And finish by running this: env-update


iglu ~ # ls -l /usr/include/ntfs
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 28 24. Dez 2003  /usr/include/ntfs -> /opt/linux-ntfs/include/ntfs
iglu ~ # ls -l /opt/linux-ntfs/include/ntfs
ls: /opt/linux-ntfs/include/ntfs: No such file or directory
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-02-28 07:48:54 UTC 
ok ?  i dont see where that symlink is coming from, portage doesnt install it ...
Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-28 08:23:12 UTC 
The symlink stems definitely from a previous ebuild, but look at the date... I removed the directory in /opt lately. Close as won't, if you don't want to do anything about it, I just thought it's better to have it reported.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-02-28 15:14:33 UTC 
dont know why the date matters ... but neither 1.11.2 or 1.12.1 refer to /opt at all ...

> dont know why the date matters ... 

The /opt installation path and the symlink is obviously from a very old ntfsprogs version and the follwing ebuilds never failed, because I never removed /opt/linux-ntfs.
