Bug 572304 – app-emulation/xen-tools-4.6.0-r6: var-lib-xenstored.mount has wrong Where=/var/lib/lib/xenstored

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonas Jelten 2016-01-18 19:29:29 UTC]

The systemd /usr/lib64/systemd/system/var-lib-xenstored.mount file contains the line:
Where=/var/lib/lib/xenstored

This will trigger the systemd error message in the journal:
var-lib-xenstored.mount: Where= setting doesn't match unit name. Refusing.

Reproducible: Always

This is still present with xen-tools-4.8.0...

Can you please elaborate? What do you mean by "I used the wrong package"?

[Comment 3 Jonas Jelten 2017-01-12 23:15:36 UTC]

I used the wrong packet name in the bug description first, then changed it, and my draft in the comment here was submitted when i edited the title. Which is why the message was cut off.

A quick, dirty fix of unknown further repurcussions (i.e. use at your own risk) would be to add the following line in the ebuild's prepare stage:

        sed -i -e   "/XEN_LIB_STORED=/s/\$localstatedir/\/var/g" \
                m4/paths.m4 configure tools/configure || die

There's a similar line for XEN_LOCK_DIR, I added this code after that.

Created attachment 470434 [details, diff]
xen-tools-set-localstatedir.patch

I do recommend instead setting localstatedir to /var (instead of econf's default /var/lib). See attached patch.
