• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Pacho Ramos 2013-06-30 12:04:26 UTC]

And setting PYTHON_PREFIX neither work :|

I do not understand the title. And I don't see a file list.

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2013-06-30 14:21:10 UTC]

Sitedir files are installed in:
/usr/games/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/

instead of:
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/

causing it to fail to locate the files

Seems to work fine on my system:
* /usr/games/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ exists no
* /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gnome_sudoku/ contains (apparently) what it should
* the package works fine

seems the problem was fixed in the meantime, can you verify / close?

The problem was workarounded but not really fixed, setting --prefix to GAMES_PREFIX will still cause python stuff to be wrongly installed

GAMES_PREFIX often causes trouble (such as wrongly installed desktop files etc), but removing it would probably cause a lot of work
