Description Harm Geerts 2005-03-21 17:39:16 UTC
After merging openmotif-2.2.3-r5 I recieved a huge amount of ln errors.
This happens when the ebuild calls: motif-config --finish-install

The following is just the last fragment (note the cat error on the last line)

<full output includes everything in /usr/lib /usr/include and /usr/bin>
ln: `/usr/bin/timidity': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/tk8.4/tk8.4': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/tkConfig.sh': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/tls/tls': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/transcode': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/valgrind': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/vhook/vhook': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/win32/win32': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/wx/wx': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/xchat/xchat': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/xine': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/xml2Conf.sh': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/xmms': File exists
ln: `/usr/bin/xsltConf.sh': File exists
cat: /usr/lib/motif/: Is a directory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -C openmotif motif-config
2.emerge openmotif
3.

Actual Results:  
a lot of symlink errors

Expected Results:  
no symlink errors
