When attempting to install the barry package manually to enable the gui backup utility, the make command failed. Upon investigation, I discovered this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/barry-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00266.html . The issue described is similar to what I was facing. Looking into the libtar ebuild, the included path also has that Mandriva patch at the end. Removing these lines from the libtar package allowed both packages to cleanly compile. Testing the barry backup gui with my copy of libtar showed no memory leaks with valgrind from libtar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install libtar using default portage ebuild 2. Download and attempt to install barry from source while enabling gui (./configure --enable-gui && make). Actual Results: Barry fails to compile. Expected Results: Barry should compile and run normally. Removing those extra lines of code produced no noticeable impact. I do not have a 64bit machine to test this with though.
experiencing this as well. is there any end to this bug in sight?
Fixed in dev-libs/libtar-1.2.11-r2 Removing memleak patch, to know why check [1] and 2 [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/barry-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00243.html [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01865.html
