bcc installations clobbers the newer version of the tools in the python /usr/lib/python-exec/python3.9 directory. When copying it copies the files from /usr/share/bcc/tools/old on top of the current /usr/share/bcc/tools when moving then to the python-exec directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install bcc 2.run opensnoop from /usr/share/bcc/tools 3. Actual Results: Does not print files being opened and the version is from 2015 Expected Results: Working on newer kernels. This bug seens to be related to the python-r1.eclass that when copying the executable does not take the directory into account so opensnoop.py ais clobbered by old/opensnoop.py. This happens to all old/* files.
Created attachment 736984 [details, diff] Crude patch to fix (remove old files before installing)
Created attachment 737332 [details, diff] path to bcc ebuild Better version, it keeps the older versions but: renames the offending files to old-{name}

While at, let's do this in src_prepare rather than in src_install phase.
