When I tried to emerge gnome-netstatus (as a dependency of gnome), the build died with the following errors: >>> Completed installing gnome-netstatus-2.12.0 into /var/tmp/portage/gnome-nets

ERROR: net-analyzer/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0 failed. Call stack: misc-functions.sh, line 469: Called install_qa_check misc-functions.sh, line 183: Called die !!! Aborting due to QA concerns: 103 files installed in /var/tmp/portage/gnome-n etstatus-2.12.0/image///var/tmp/portage/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0/image/ !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if rel evant. !!! install_qa_check failed; exiting. I traced this to scrollkeeper trying to install to $D/$D: scrollkeeper-update -p /var/tmp/portage/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0/image//var/tmp/portage/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0/image//var/lib/scrollkeeper -o /var/tmp/portage/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0/image//usr/share/omf/gnome-netstatus Which, it seems, was because of lines such as: ./work/gnome-netstatus-2.12.0/help/<locale>/Makefile.in: -scrollkeeper-update -p $(DESTDIR)$(scrollkeeper_localstate_dir) and gnome2.eclass doing: einstall "scrollkeeper_localstate_dir=${D}${SCROLLKEEPER_DIR} " "$@" || die "einstall failed" As I wasn't sure which of these was wrong, and I was only having trouble with this ebuild, I added the following to the ebuild: # at the end of src_unpack... sedline="s/\$(DESTDIR)\$(scrollkeeper_localstate_dir)/\$(scrollkeeper_localstate_dir)/g" find . -name Makefile.in -exec sed -i "${sedline}" {} \; which allowed the package to build.
thanks, fixed in cvs.
