Bug 80515 – baselayout-1.11.x: get_abi_LIBDIR from multilib.eclass breaks stuff on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2005-02-02 14:01:11 UTC]

I emerged baselayout-1.11.9-r1 today, and my system was quite broken (depscan.sh was failing without being able to find the awk scripts). It continued to be broken even after downgrading to older versions.

The problem was that the important scripts got installed in /rcscripts/{sh,awk}...

The reason for that is that the following:

    # This should be /lib/rcscripts, but we have to support old profiles too.
    if [ "${SYMLINK_LIB}" = "yes" ]; then
        rcscripts_dir="/$(get_abi_LIBDIR ${DEFAULT_ABI})/rcscripts"
    else
        rcscripts_dir="/lib/rcscripts"
    fi

sets rcscripts_dir to /rcscripts, because on my profile get_abi_LIBDIR does return an empty string.

The reasons for this:

$ readlink /etc/make.profile
../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2004.3/lib64
$ grep SYMLINK /etc/make.profile/make.defaults 
SYMLINK_LIB="yes"

Some other useful info:

SYMLINK_LIB shouldn't be set in the 2004.3 profile...
