Bug 136466 – net-in/gaim-1.5.0 won't build with userpriv enabled

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Randall Nortman 2006-06-11 13:08:33 UTC]

I get the following error when I try to emerge gaim with userpriv in FEATURES:

-----

Looking at the file it's complaining about, I see that it is a broken symlink:
ls -l /var/tmp/portage/gaim-1.5.0/work/gaim-1.5.0/plugins/perl/common/Gaim.pm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 74 Jun 11 16:04 /var/tmp/portage/gaim-1.5.0/work/gaim-1.5.0/plugins/perl/common/Gaim.pm -> ..//var/tmp/portage/gaim-1.5.0/work/gaim-1.5.0/plugins/perl/common/Gaim.pm


When I remove userpriv from FEATURES, it works fine.

emerge --info output (with userpriv enabled):

Is this still an issue? If so, please try re-emerging with usersandbox in features and let me know if it's still reproduceable.

[Comment 2 Randall Nortman 2006-07-02 08:31:07 UTC]

Magically, it is fixed.  Let us host a great banquet to thank the gods for this inexplicable miracle.

Works fine with userpriv, and I didn't have to try usersandbox.  Did you change something, or was this just a fluke?

[Comment 3 Kathryn Kulick (RETIRED) 2006-07-02 09:28:19 UTC]

I hadn't changed anything with the 1.5.0 ebuild. Could have been a fluke, or an update to perl perhaps. Either way, very glad it's working now.
