Description Philippe Coulonges 2003-10-02 03:32:34 UTC 
update of scrollkeeper don't remove /usr/share/doc files
Comment 1 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-02 06:12:25 UTC 
can you be more precise ? I don't see this behaviour. Please provide proof.
Comment 2 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-08 02:34:07 UTC 
do you mean the docs in /usr/share/doc/scrollkeeper-0.3.12 ?
Comment 3 Philippe Coulonges 2003-10-08 03:00:21 UTC 
In fact, as I privately (and wrongly) stated in a private mail to foser,
the problem occurred on my systems between version 0.3.11 and 0.3.11-r1.

One file prevented the directory to be removed.
That file (of which I lost track) was gunzipped in one version and not in
the next.
I noticed the problem on 4 different machines.
Comment 4 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-08 03:26:22 UTC 
well the line that actually installs those docs is identical in both versions
0.3.11 and 0.3.11-r1 as follows:

dodoc AUTHORS INSTALL TODO COPYING* ChangeLog README NEWS

is this still reproducable ?
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-26 12:17:38 UTC 
guess not, closing

might have been a portage problem in some version
