Bug 648416 – net-analyzer/smokeping-2.7.1 /usr/bin/smokeping sed script fails on Bin/RealBin

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nic 2018-02-21 18:10:36 UTC]

Upstream changed path so net-analyzer/smokeping-2.7.1 fails to start on gentoo; the config file isn't normalized.






Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
ERROR: can't open /usr/bin/../etc/config: No such file or directory



/usr/bin/smokeping

-Smokeping::main("$FindBin::Bin/../etc/config");
+Smokeping::main("$FindBin::RealBin/../etc/config");




ebuild has the previous 'Bin/' and need to be updated with 'RealBin/' to rewrite the path correctly.

sed -i -e 's/$FindBin::Bin\/..\/etc\/config/\/etc\/smokeping\/config/g' "${D}/usr/bin/smokeping" "${D}/usr/bin/smokeping_cgi" || die



alternative workaround is to modify the init to append the --config statement

-command_args="--nodaemon"
+command_args="--nodaemon --config /etc/smokeping/config"
