I recently installed the net-www/gplflash package (0.4.13) and the ebuild installs the browser plugin into /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image instead of the real root directory (/). I've tried emerging it with and without FEATURES="-sandbox" with the same results. Here's the output from near the end of the emerge: make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/work/gplflash-0.4.13' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/work/gplflash-0.4.13' dosym /opt/netscape/plugins/libnpflash.so /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins * Symlinked the plugin into the mozilla/firebird/galeon plugin directory man: prepallstrip: strip: i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded strip: i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/opt/netscape/plugins/libnpflash.so usr/lib/libflash.so.0.13.0 usr/bin/swfplayer making executable: /usr/lib/libflash.so.0.13.0 >>> Completed installing gplflash-0.4.13 into /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/ >>> Merging net-www/gplflash-0.4.13 to / --- /var/ --- /var/tmp/ --- /var/tmp/portage/ --- /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/ --- /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/ >>> /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/opt/ >>> /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/opt/netscape/ >>> /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/opt/netscape/plugins/ >>> /var/tmp/portage/gplflash-0.4.13/image/opt/netscape/plugins/libnpflash.so --- /usr/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ --- /usr/share/doc/gplflash-0.4.13/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gplflash-0.4.13/README.gz [...] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge =net-www/gplflash-0.4.13 3.

Created attachment 53069 [details, diff] Patch to fix install location of plugin err.. yes, a tmp directory does not seem like a good place to install stuff to.
Yup. That fixes it. Thanks Herbie. Can this be added in CVS please?
exactly the same problem in gplflash-0.4.12 and exactly the same fix is required
fixed.
