The ebuild disables sandbox and installs files past it. Not all of them get included in the package. At least the files /usr/lib/libelmme-*.so are affected. They get installed when building, but are not marked as belonging to the package and unmerging leaves them in place. Binary packages of elm do not work at all because of missing libraries. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --buildpkg elm 2. emerge --unmerge elm 3. rm /usr/lib/libelmme-*.so 4. emerge --usepkgonly elm Actual Results: elm does not start, due to missing libraries: elm: error while loading shared libraries: libelmme-base.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: all files should have been included in the package, so that binary packages would work and no files would be left hanging after unmerging.

Created attachment 36951 [details, diff] A diff file for -r1 ebuild There were many more files slipping past portage. I enabled sandbox again for this one and introduced some sed magic so everything fits where it was intended by the author.
Hm, this new ebuild fails on sandbox access violation when re-emerging. The reason being something with elm's install process checking on some existing files in living system (/usr/lib/something). elm is using bunch of homemade tools to process and install certain data files (these tools live in utils/) and they're not documented. I'll have a look at this one later today, I hope.
Created attachment 36964 [details, diff] A diff for -r1 One more sed tweak was needed and few datafiles needed to be copied by hand (insinto+doins). I am starting to hate elm for its monstrously complicated build process. :) Anyway, this version should be working with no problems.
Andrej, thanks for the diff. I've tested this here and it works fine. No sandbox violations and all the correct files are added/removed when emerging/unmerging. Added elm-2.4_rc100-r1.ebuild to CVS to fix this problem, closing bug.
