Description keenblade 2011-01-19 17:57:15 UTC 
When running app-misc/nut, it gives this error and then closes:
$ nut
"Can't open food file "/usr/local/lib/nut/sr23.nut" to create food database."

Fix is to define FOODDIR var in the ebuild like this:
	emake FOODDIR='\"/usr/share/nut\"' || die

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ nut
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Can't open food file "/usr/local/lib/nut/sr23.nut" to create food database.
Then app is closed.

Expected Results:  
Reading food file "/usr/share/nut/sr23.nut"

There is newer app-misc/nut-16.6. It works just renaming the ebuild with the suggested emake line before. And the patch file in files dir need to be renamed accordigly.

The /usr/local part bothers me.
Are you sure you didn't put something there to cause this effect ?
Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2011-01-19 19:02:16 UTC 
Never mind.
It's simply a matter of upstream needing a better build system.
Your fix is correct.

In portage there is an updated app-misc/nut-16.5.ebuild which uses a sed statement for the issue. So I think the issue is solved. The only thing remaining is a version bump to app-misc/nut-16.6.
Thanks.
