Description Pieter Meiring 2003-11-30 12:07:33 UTC

If the portage tree is redirected to another volume via a symlink in /usr (e.g. ln -s /home/portage /usr/portage) then the dep-clean script fails on the "find" command on line 176.
This is easily fixed by adding a trailing "/" to the "/usr/portage" string as follows:
line 176: find /usr/portage/ ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} -iname '*.ebuild' | \

(using gentoolkit-0.1.36)

Best Wishes
Pieter
