Description Ivan Toshkov 2007-07-31 10:21:24 UTC
The file gtk-doc/files/61gtk-doc-gentoo.el is actually a gzip of the real file.  After installing the package with USE=emacs, this file gets into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el, which causes emacs to complain.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the `emacs' use flag to gtk-doc package
2. emerge =dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r1

Actual Results:  
$ file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/61gtk-doc-gentoo.el 
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/61gtk-doc-gentoo.el: gzip compressed data, from Unix

Expected Results:  
# file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/61gtk-doc-gentoo.el 
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/61gtk-doc-gentoo.el: ASCII English text

In case somebody searches for the error message, it is:

load-with-code-conversion: Symbol's value as variable is void: \213

Fixed this, since it makes Emacs unusable.

Wouldn't a change to what files get actually installed usually warrant a revision bump, so people don't have to bump into this bug to realize they have to remerge that package?

 It should, yes.

You are absolutely right, my fault. Bumped to -r2 with unchanged ebuild.
