Description Martin Wegner 2006-07-14 03:52:23 UTC 
x11-drivers/synaptics-0.14.5 installs its binaries into /usr/local/bin which should not be.

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/syn*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11760 Jul 14 12:45 /usr/local/bin/synclient
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  8072 Jul 14 12:45 /usr/local/bin/syndaemon
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2006-07-14 15:02:20 UTC 
The ebuild should do
   make DESTDIR=${D} PREFIX=/usr install

The line that sets PREFIX="${D}/usr" as global variable has no effect and should be removed.

I  just put -r1 into portage to fix all this rubbish.  Thanks guys.  And apologies for the bad QA on that last one.
