hello i recently tried to compile some packages on one box and install them on the othes using emerge -k feature. i found that emerging from binary package only unpacks and copies files, does not configure the environment properly after that. i had gcc-3.2.1 and gcc-config installed from ebuilds and gcc-2.95.3-r8 installed from tbz2. emerging last one removed /etc/env.d/gcc/config and /etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.1 so i had to fix that manually. i know gcc-2.95.3-r8 is a alpha one, but it worked fine when installed from ebuild. i suppose (not sure) that emerge -k does not run some post-install configure scripts that are run inside ebuilds. regards, artb.
It only runs pkg_postinst() as it is supposed to... It shouldn't have removed those two configs though. Are you certain?
yes, i'm pretty sure that installing from tbz2 caused the error, but since i've also installed gcc-config and there were some issues with it and env settings back then i guess it could have been gcc-config problem. i'm sorry that i cannot give you more info on this; as soon as gcc 3.2.2 hits stable i'll try to reproduce this bug and send more descriptive report. regards, artb.
I havent looked at portage internals for some time, so cannot comment. As for gcc-config being at failt .. its possible, although no other reports up to date. Ill try to recreate it if I get the time.
Dropping. Doesn't appear to be going anyway and haven' seen new reports.
