Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. system is x86 and stable very few keyworded apps and since it's a Coppermiine don't need 64bit support so disabled in USE
2.
3.

www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.152.27_p201011173 was built with the following:
USE="32bit -64bit (-multilib) -nspluginwrapper -vdpau"

[Comment 1 Nick Novikov 2011-02-11 04:16:40 UTC]

Confirmed on ~x86.

Portage fails to unpack rpm file, ignores that and doesn't install any actual file in /opt:

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking flash-plugin-10.2.152.27-release.i386.rpm to /var/tmp/portage/www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.152.27_p201011173/work
unpack flash-plugin-10.2.152.27-release.i386.rpm: file format not recognized. Ignoring.
>>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.152.27_p201011173/work

[Comment 2 Mike Auty (RETIRED) 2011-02-11 11:16:57 UTC]

Ok, this appears to be because the 32-bit download URI is still an rpm (the release RPM, in fact), whereas the 64-bit one is a tar.gz.

In this version, the rpm eclass has been removed and the unpack method overridden (hence the 32-bit version not unpacking), but also the support for where the files are stored within the rpm has been removed (and some ebuild vars from the previous ebuild need changing from PV to PV_REL).

I'm not going to post a patched up ebuild because this is a security bump, and it may be that there is a newer 32-bit tar.gz which I haven't found yet.  This is just to provide a clear description of what's causing the issue.

[Comment 3 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2011-02-11 13:32:34 UTC]

Thanks, my mistake... I was trying to be too clever on short notice.  I'll get this fixed right away.

[Comment 4 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2011-02-11 13:45:28 UTC]

Okay, fixed!  Not rev-bumping since you'll just have to try again once the ebuild makes it to your rsync mirror.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

(Leaving this bug open for a day or two so it's easier for users to find)

[Comment 5 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2011-02-11 13:54:47 UTC]

Revbumped instead on suggestion by Mike.

This is fixed in www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.152.27_p201011173-r1

[Comment 6 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2011-02-14 19:18:24 UTC]

Okay, it's now 3 days later.  Hopefully everyone who was going to hit this bug has since hit it, resynced, and moved on.  Marking fixed.
