Description Ari Archer 2021-12-13 22:23:15 UTC
Hello, When trying to compile dev-scheme/racket-8.2-r1 I get this

```

```


When I try to compile with USE=minimal, tried other flags, this is the only one
which was doing this weird thing.

Then I just switched to other flags without `minimal` and it worked, seems like 
there is a bug in the ebuild itself.


Suggested fix:

Check if `minimal` USE flag is enabled, if not don't create a backup of /usr/share/racket/info-cache.rktd

```
if ! use minimal; then
    mv "${ED}"/${rktd} "${ED}"/${rktd}.bak || die "failed to create a backup of ${rktd}"
fi
```


This is how my racket build looks like:
```
[ebuild   R   ] dev-scheme/racket-8.2-r1  USE="chez doc futures jit places threads -X* -minimal" 
```

When broken:
```
[ebuild   R   ] dev-scheme/racket-8.2-r1  USE="chez doc futures jit minimal* places threads -X*" 
```


Steps to reproduce:
1. Add the `minimal` USE flag to racket's package.use
2. Emerge racket
3. Wait for it to compile
4. Watch it fail at the end of the installation

FYI: `dev-scheme/racket-8.3-r1` does NOT have the same issue as `dev-scheme/racket-8.2-r1`

> FYI: `dev-scheme/racket-8.3-r1` does NOT have the same issue as `dev-scheme/racket-8.2-r1`

the reason why this worked is because we copy the pkgdb files only when there is NO SLOT change

anyway, thanks for reporting this
