Description Keith Jordan 2004-10-22 02:10:06 UTC

Installing IVTV requires an unzip of a firmware file.
If the unzip command is not found on the system, the build reports the error but still tries to build build the firmware resulting in a corrupt ivtv-fw-enc.bin and ivtv-fw-dec.bin
unzip needs to be a dependency in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --unmerge unzip
2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ivtv
3. md5sum /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin
4. compare result with http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=FirmwareVersions

Actual Results:  
modprobe of ivtv errors out with 'Failed to read firmware'

Expected Results:  
If unzip is not installed (e.g. recent new build), the ebuild should install 
it prior to attempting an extract of the firmware.

Workaround: emerge unzip prior to emerge ivtv
