Bug 276590 – Stabilize app-admin/eselect-python-20090606

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Robbins 2009-07-05 16:45:06 UTC]

eselect-python-20090606 fixes a serious issue that was present in eselect-python-20080925, related to mis-using ROOT when setting up python symlinks. Currently, eselect-python-20080925 is breaking my builds by producing invalid stage2s:

/tmp/steps/chroot/run.metro: /usr/bin/emerge: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

devbox-ve gentoo # cd stage2-x86-2009.07.05/
devbox-ve stage2-x86-2009.07.05 # linux32 chroot .
sh-3.2# ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul  5 16:36 /usr/bin/python -> /tmp/stage1root/usr/bin/python2.5

This issue is fixed in eselect-python-20090606. This bug is to request that eselect-python-20090606 is moved to stable for x86 and amd64, with other architectures to follow.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
# ROOT=/foo/bar
# eselect python set 1
# ls -l /foo/bar/usr/bin/python
(symlink points to target in /foo/bar/usr/bin/python)
# chroot /foo/bar
# python
# sh: python: command not found

This is breaking our stage builds as well.

Reporter: The correct term is "stabilization" and not "unmasking" :) .

Architectures: Please stabilize app-admin/eselect-python-20090606.
