I've tried to emerge "net-print/foomatic-db-20030716" with "ppds" flag enabled, and had the following error: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <snip> ...printer HP-DeskJet_500C, driver hpdj ...printer Okidata-Microline_192plus, driver oki182 ...printer Kyocera-FS-1200, driver ljet4d Done. cp: cannot open `/usr/bin/sperl5.6.1' for reading: Permission denied make: *** [filters-ppds] Error 1 !!! ERROR: net-print/foomatic-db-20030716 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 45, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This happens during the "make DESTDIR=${D} filters-ppds" in the foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0 directory. In fact, to install the man pages, the Makefile does this: cp $${foomatic_filters_root}/*.1 $${packagename}/share/man/man1 But the $${foomatic_filters_root} should not be there, since its value is obviously "/usr/bin". Man pages are in the current directory at this point, so what I've done is removing this wrong prefix in the Makefile.in: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ src_unpack() { mkdir foomatic cd foomatic unpack foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0.tar.gz unpack foomatic-db-${PV}.tar.gz cd foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0 mv Makefile.in Makefile.in.orig sed s:'cp\ \$\${foomatic_filters_root}/\*\.1':'cp\ \*\.1': \ < Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in cd .. } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It does work as expected. This fix is not needed in the foomatic-db-engine ebuild, because the "filters-ppds" section of the Makefile is not used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. touch /usr/bin/i_should_not_be_copied.1 2. chmod ugo-r /usr/bin/i_should_not_be_copied.1 3.

weird, i can't reproduce this bug, but i commited the fix, thx.
