Description Leung Ki Chi 2005-05-02 05:42:32 UTC

emerge -e system will fail on groff due to bad logic in line 56 of the ebuild.

This happens regardless of USE=X or -X.

Replacing && on that line with || solves the problem.

This was reported by several users on #gentoo and the fix worked for all of them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge groff
Actual Results:  
groff fails with this error:

/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 89: xmkmf: command not found

Comment 1 Leung Ki Chi 2005-05-02 06:14:53 UTC

It's actually line 59 in the ebuild, but marked as line 56 in viewCVS.

stupid copy & paste

proper fix is to change && to || and -n to -z

Comment 3 Daniel Wachter 2005-05-02 07:43:50 UTC
