Recently tried to install postfix 2.1.5. The install ended with: >>> dobin: making auxiliary/qshape/qshape.pl executable... mv: cannot stat `/var/tmp/portage/postfix-2.1.5-r1/image//usr/share/doc/postfix- 2.1.5-r1/defaults/{*.cf,post*-*}': No such file or directory mbox /var/tmp/portage/postfix-2.1.5-r1/image//usr/sbin/postconf: fatal: open /var/tmp /portage/postfix-2.1.5-r1/image//etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file o r directory !!! ERROR: mail-mta/postfix-2.1.5-r1 failed. !!! Function src_install, Line 201, Exitcode 1 !!! postconf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. It was complaining about the following line in the .ebuild: mv "${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/defaults/"{*.cf,post*-*} "${D}/etc/postfix" I fixed it by replacing the above line with: bash -c "mv ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/defaults/{*.cf,post*-*} ${D}/etc/postfix" Obviously, that is not the desired fix but at least it let me continue installing. Someone else can figure out why the original line didn't work. Can anyone else reproduce this?
Created attachment 40635 [details] emerge --info
would you please try: mv ${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/defaults/{*.cf,post*-*} ${D}/etc/postfix and report if it works?
Yes, that works.
fixed in cvs. Thanks for reporting.
