Bug 394909 – app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r4 install man pages and etc configs in the wrong paths

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Andrew Savchenko 2011-12-16 10:03:07 UTC]

Hello,

gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r4 installs /etc/ and /usr/man/ files with extra /usr prefix:

$ qlist gentoolkit
...
/usr/etc/env.d/99gentoolkit-env
/usr/etc/revdep-rebuild/99revdep-rebuild
/usr/etc/eclean/distfiles.exclude
/usr/etc/eclean/packages.exclude
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/eclean.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/glsa-check.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/epkginfo.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/eshowkw.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/revdep-rebuild.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/eread.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/euse.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/enalyze.1.bz2
/usr/usr/share/man/man1/equery.1.bz2
...

have no idea why, I do not use prefix setup.

What does /var/db/pkg/app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r4/CONTENTS show?
What version of portage-utils do you have installed?

[Comment 4 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2011-12-16 21:38:22 UTC]

The only way that I can reproduce this is if I have EPREFIX="/usr" set in my environment.  Can you check your environment to see if that variable is set?

[Comment 5 Andrew Savchenko 2011-12-17 11:22:08 UTC]

There is no EPREFIX  set to my knowledge:

# printenv | grep -i prefix
# grep -i prefix /etc/make.conf
#

app-portage/portage-utils-0.7 is installed.

Also I checked my /usr, looks like gentoolkit is the only package with abnormal installation on this setup.

[Comment 8 Tomasz Wasiak 2011-12-19 06:04:44 UTC]

I am just finishing new Gentoo AMD64 hardened no-multilib install and have same situation here...

[Comment 9 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2011-12-19 16:51:05 UTC]

I believe the problem is due to setup.py pre-pending /usr to all data_files.  I think the correct fix will be to create a setup.cfg file containing 

[install]
install-data=/


which will override any other setting some users seem to have as a default.

[Comment 10 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2011-12-19 19:34:49 UTC]

Okay the issue is that newer versions of portage define EPREFIX.  The issue is when it was undefined, the setup code set it to "/".  The newer versions of portage set it to "", which breaks the code.

I will get an updated gentoolkit into the tree and request early stabilization as soon as possible.

[Comment 11 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2011-12-19 20:50:32 UTC]

Fixed in gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r5.  Stable request is in Bug 395303.
