Bug 48770 – Subversion ebuild needs write access to /usr/lib/perl5/.../SVN/

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Shevek 2004-04-23 02:47:15 UTC]

If you upgrade or reinstall subversion, it gives a violation on /usr/lib/perl5/.../SVN/ (both the binary and the native perl versions of that directory). It should either be addwrite, or it must be removed before reinstallation (my current workaround).

Shevek,

Can you attach an emerge info please.

Paul,
I remember somewhere you mentioning you were not maintaining subversion any more. Is this correct?
If not can something be marked stable and/or old ebuilds removed?

[Comment 2 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-04-26 13:14:28 UTC]

I do maintain subversion, I just don't no anything about perl so I could use some help on the perl area.

Emerge info not really relevant since I maintain dozens of systems and this applies to all of them. For the sake of argument, here's a couple of them.

Paul, the problem is that the Perl module's Makefile will explicitly stat and attempt to remove old copies of the code directly from /usr/lib/perl5/<something appropriate>. Therefore it needs the sandbox to permit it to write to that directory.

To reproduce the bug, install subversion, then reinstall or upgrade without unmerging the old instance.

I am really glad the Perl module installs by default now since this is my main way of using svn. However, fixing this little niggle will also help a lot with my use of gentoo.

This doesn't seem to be a problem in current versions.  Please re-open if it still happens for you.
