Bug 672254 – sys-apps/dbus-1.10.24 with sys-apps/systemd-239-r2 - wrong path to systemctl

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sławomir Nizio 2018-11-29 20:01:02 UTC]

# qlist -e systemd | grep bin/systemctl
/bin/systemctl


but:

# grep systemctl /usr/lib/systemd/user/dbus.socket
ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/systemctl --user set-environment DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=%t/bus


Both package versions (sys-apps/dbus-1.10.24 and sys-apps/systemd-239-r2) are the lastest stable for amd64 at the moment.



Another issue related to paths (which confirms that the path has been moved and mentions in which version it may have happened): https://bugs.gentoo.org/646542.

Have you tried rebuilding it?  I'm going to guess it finds the path at build time.

[Comment 2 Mike Gilbert 2018-11-30 15:59:24 UTC]

Right, there's a build-time check for it in PATH.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/tree/configure.ac?h=dbus-1.10#n1217

If you build dbus before systemd is installed, it will end up defaulting to /usr/bin/systemctl.

Perhaps we should add IUSE="+split-usr" and force the value by passing SYSTEMCTL="${EPRFFIX}/bin/systemctl" or SYSTEMCTL="${EPREFIX}/usr/bin/systemctl" to configure.

Ah indeed, after the rebuild it's pointing at /bin/systemctl, thanks!

[Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner 2019-02-24 09:26:13 UTC]

Closing this as dbus already has a slot op on sys-apps/systemd.
