• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-net-im_-_psi-0.9.1-10537.log"

emerging it with FEATURES="-sandbox" behaves like it was configured with --prefix=/ - it installs files into /bin/psi, /share/psi and so on.
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge psi
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
psi fails to install properly.

Expected Results:  
install psi.

You talk about having -sandbox and then your emerge info shows that you have sandbox in FEATURES. Please explain you problem better as i have never seend psi give sandbox violations.

[Comment 2 eleven 2004-07-05 00:46:33 UTC]

no, no! emerge FAILS with sandbox enabled (it gives the output I've pasted in the bug report). it does not fail with sandbox disabled, _but_ installs stuff into / (as it was configured with --prefix=/ instead of /usr). so I end up with /bin/psi, /share/psi and so on. and psi doesn't work, of course.

[Comment 3 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) 2004-07-05 09:44:02 UTC]

 ./configure --prefix=/usr $myconf || die
I canot duplicate this so I have no idea on how to fix it because configure is run with --prefix=/usr and you talk about: (as it was configured with --prefix=/ instead of /usr)
Did you change the ebuild?

[Comment 4 eleven 2004-07-05 10:18:06 UTC]

I haven't touched them. I've synced many times since first occurence of that bug. Both ebuilds contain:

[...]
src_compile() {
    use kde || myconf="${myconf} --disable-kde"
    ./configure --prefix=/usr $myconf || die
    addwrite "$HOME/.qt"
    addwrite "$QTDIR/etc/settings"
    emake || die
}

src_install() {
    dodoc README TODO
    make INSTALL_ROOT="${D}" install
}

I've said it behaves like it was configured with --prefix=/ because when I disable sandbox it installs files into /bin, /share and so on. So any further hints on fixing it? What data I should provide?

Created attachment 34825 [details]
psi-0.9.2-r1.ebuild

Please test this version.

[Comment 6 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) 2004-07-05 11:52:10 UTC]

Well with some help from the people on #g.bugs we managed to track down this to the: PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/local/portage" can someone from the dev-portage team take a look.

[Comment 7 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) 2004-07-05 13:03:51 UTC]

swegener managed to find this:
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2004-January/018279.html

So it seems like a qmake bug, please set your PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/local/portage" to something not in /usr.  And please report back.

Setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR to /tmp/portage emerged psi without any tweaking.
Thanks.
