Description Nick Bowler 2008-05-11 03:51:48 UTC

The rss-glx ebuild contains a hardcoded path to /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver.
Since /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64, the files get installed to the correct location, but tools such as revdep-rebuild cannot figure out that paths such as "/usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/hyperspace" belong to this package.

Attached (trivial) patch resolves the issue.
