Description David Klaftenegger 2012-06-24 23:22:30 UTC

The libvirt hook scripts are located in the directory $SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/hooks/.
This defaults to /usr/local/etc/, but should be changed to /etc/

As a workaround you can set /usr/local/etc to be a symlink to /etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put a hook script in /etc/libvirt/hooks/
2. put different hook script in /usr/local/etc/libvirt/hooks/
Actual Results:  
hook script (1) is ignored
hook script (2) is used

Expected Results:  
reversed: (1) should be used and (2) ignored

SYSCONFDIR is also used in SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, which I can confirm is taking effect. I can also confirm in the ebuild, via econf that we're setting that to "/etc", can you confirm you haven't hand compiled anything?

(In reply to comment #1)

I can confirm that the bug is no longer present, after I recompiled the package yesterday. May have been a remaining issue from me accidentially using the not-production-ready version of the ebuild previously.

Sorry for the noise.
