Bug 54058 – build fails for firefox 0.9 ebuild (see below) on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Trey Blancher 2004-06-15 22:16:40 UTC]

I obtained the firefox source ebuild from here:  http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=33311&action=view

It fails when it tries to apply the patch:  mozilla-firebird-amd64.patch 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download and save the ebuild linked to above and save it in /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla-firefox/
2.  Run "ebuild /usr/portage/net-www/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-0.9.ebuild digest" to generate the digest for firefox-0.9 (I had to do this but YMMV).
3.  Run "emerge -av mozilla-firefox" and say "Yes" to the prompt.

Actual Results:  
I get the following error:

* Applying mozilla-firebird-amd64.patch...

 * Failed Patch: mozilla-firebird-amd64.patch!
 * 
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:

!!! ERROR: net-www/mozilla-firefox-0.9 failed.

Expected Results:  
Finished the build successfully, or at least failed a different part. (-:

Created attachment 33360 [details]
Patch output showing the errors

This is the file that the error output said to include in the bug report.

[Comment 2 Christian Gut 2004-06-15 22:40:50 UTC]

well, is there any reason, you file up a new bug instead of adding your error there? And do you think your severity is well chosen?

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-06-15 23:11:39 UTC]

Indeed.  comment #2 is right on the money.  Take this to the other please.
