sdnotify installs /usr/LICENSE.txt as a result of (incorrectly) including it in data_files within setup.py. I've had a quick fix in my overlay for a couple months and I've just pushed a real fix upstream: https://github.com/doctaweeks/junkdrawer-overlay/blob/master/dev-python/sdnotify/files/sdnotify-no-doc.patch https://github.com/bb4242/sdnotify/pull/3 This is actually a wider problem for python packages - abusing data_files to install directly into the prefix root. I've found it more than once - crossbar, txio - both still affected). It would be good for portage, or at lease the python eclasses, to check for stray files that are likely to cause collisions. I have a hook in my portage bashrc that I use to alert me to such problems: https://danweeks.net/p-blog?id=8 The only reason this does not currently cause a collision with dev-python/crossbar is a sed hack in the crossbar ebuild. Reproducible: Always
> The only reason this does not currently cause a collision with > dev-python/crossbar is a sed hack in the crossbar ebuild. Sorry, ignore. This applies to another package on bug # 626886.
The patch has been accepted upstream and a new version has been released (0.3.2)
Awesome, thanks, haven't had time yet, but I'll get to that bump as soon as I can. I must have missed that. Did you mean txaio also does this? DAMN, :( I'll get that one fixed too. Yeah, I had to sed that out for crossbar. I don't remember if if was your patch for sdnotify, but please submit the same for crossbar :) if there isn't one already. I seem to remember adding a +1 somewhere for a patch like that. From what I've seen, all these various deps around and including buildbot seem to think they should all be virtualenv installs... So likely can get away with those stupid things... Thank you for the reports and help.

Yes, my patch was accepted for sdnotify but rejected for crossbar. I submitted a similar patch for txaio but it is still waiting. However, I predict it will be rejected too since it is a crossbar project... > > From what I've seen, all these various deps around and including buildbot > seem to think they should all be virtualenv installs...

Old version removed. Please reopen if it still happens.
