Bug 247968 – eclass/font.eclass - broken fontconfig cache generation with custom ROOT

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Łukasz Mierzwa 2008-11-21 13:32:26 UTC]

When emerging fonts to custom ROOT I got sandbox issues, this is caused by missing ${D} in font.eclass. Patch below will fix this:

 }

Łukasz, please, try the following modification and tell us if it works for you:

-               HOME="/root" fc-cache -f "${D}${FONTDIR}"
+               fc-cache -sf "${D}${FONTDIR}"
