Since this is a critical task, ebuild will be stopped. !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/dev-util/devhelp/devhelp-0.3.ebuild . Havent looked at it yet to be onest, but im thinking that the *uhm* authors fixing this could be a more viable solution if possible ? Thanks, let me know if it is not possible that way, and if you to bussy to fix .. ill get to it somewhere ...
Fixed in devhelp-0.3-r1, by doing the following: ./configure --disable-install-schemas Added pkg_postinst() script from rpm specfile to install the schemas after rpm installation.
