Reproducible: Always

The file is there. You have broken Portage tree (sync).

Proof:

ssuominen@foo ~/gentoo-x86/media-libs/libpng $ cvs up
ssuominen@foo ~/gentoo-x86/media-libs/libpng $ ls files/
CVS  libpng-1.4.x-update.sh

Sorry. Reopening, it's a missing file in prefix-overlay, not in Portage.

[Comment 3 Guilherme Amadio 2010-05-14 20:23:40 UTC]

I commented the line that installed the script and it installed ok, except for some file collisions with
libpng-1.4.1, which I resolved by uninstalling it and installing 1.4.2 later.

src_install() {
    emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die
    dodoc ANNOUNCE CHANGES README TODO || die
    # dosbin "${FILESDIR}"/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh || die
}

However, since this script is not included anymore, pkg_postinst should also be upgraded or removed:

pkg_postinst() {
    echo
    ewarn "Moving from libpng 1.2.x to 1.4.x will break installed libtool .la"
    ewarn "files."
    echo
    elog "Run /usr/sbin/libpng-1.4.x-update.sh at your own risk only if"
    elog "revdep-rebuild or lafilefixer fails."
    echo
    elog "Don't forget \"man emerge\" and useful parameters like --skip-first,"
    elog "--resume and --keep-going."
    echo
}

Yes, this is a problem in prefix.

No problem.

[Comment 5 Guilherme Amadio 2010-05-14 20:26:24 UTC]

If the file is in portage, copying it over to prefix should be an easy fix to the issue.

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2010-05-15 09:54:16 UTC]

ok, added the script and some sed-foo to fix it for Prefix.  Thanks!
