Bug 555520 – dev-python/backports-ssl-match-hostname-3.4.0.2 has a double prefix problem in python_install

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description François Bissey 2015-07-20 22:43:32 UTC]

Emerging dev-python/backports-ssl-match-hostname-3.4.0.2 on a amd64 prefix fils because of a double prefix problem:
rm: cannot remove ‘/home/frb15/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/backports-ssl-match-hostname-3.4.0.2/image/home/frb15/gentoo//home/frb15/gentoo/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports/__init__.py*’: No such file or directory
 * ERROR: dev-python/backports-ssl-match-hostname-3.4.0.2::gentoo_prefix failed (install phase):
 *   (no error message)

The corresponding code in the ebuild is
python_install() {
	distutils-r1_python_install

	# main namespace provided by dev-python/backports
	rm "${ED}$(python_get_sitedir)"/backports/__init__.py* || die
}

And of course you do not need $ED when $(python_get_sitedir) is used, because it is already prefixed. In this case a single $D should be used.
