Bug 51277 – perl packages on pentium3 CD wrongly place modules in i386-linux directories

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description John Robinson 2004-05-17 06:16:30 UTC]

Pretty much says it all. The following packages from the 2004.1 pentium3 packages CD all place files in i386-linux directories, where they aren't found by the perl 5.8.2 from the corresponding 2004.1 universal LiveCD pentium3 stage3 tarball:

DBD-mysql-2.1027.tbz2
DBI-1.38.tbz2
Net-Daemon-0.37.tbz2
PlRPC-0.2016-r1.tbz2
Storable-2.07-r1.tbz2
XML-Parser-2.34.tbz2

I found this from attempting to upgrade my metacity, see bug #51266. Re-emerging these packages from source fixed the problem as their files went into i686-linux directories.

looks like 2004.1 p3 grp was built with other optimizations ..
let me build a test grp set and see if it was our error or a catalyst bug.

ok, I see the problem
the GRP set that you are using was not built correctly. It was "seeded" with a x86 stage3, whose default CHOST is i386, hence the perl modules being placed in the wrong directory ;)

I have informed my builders on how to avoid this, and it will be fixed in 2004.2. Thanks for the bug report.

I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to
move all the bugs.
