Description Pieter Baele 2005-05-08 23:34:30 UTC
When I try to launch Profuse (latest ebuild in ~x86), I receive the following error:
fatal error : ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 is not a directory.

If I check this directory:
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86 $ ls -l
totaal 20
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 160 apr 22 14:37 2004.0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 184 apr 22 14:37 2004.2
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 192 mei  9 06:36 2004.3
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 144 mei  9 08:21 2005.0
....


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. profuse (or sudo profuse)

Actual Results:  
fatal error : ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 is not a directory.


Expected Results:  
profuse should start...

maybe I fault in my config?

I don't think emerge info is needed??
Comment 1 dams (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-09 02:32:10 UTC
which version of profuse is it ?
Comment 2 Pieter Baele 2005-05-09 02:35:00 UTC
Stupid me :) 0.20.2-r1
I had it also with the previous release
Comment 3 dams (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-09 02:51:21 UTC
It may come from a problem on your profile settings.

Can you give me the output of : ls -lah /etc  | grep make.profile
Did you pass any argument to profuse?
can you attach your /etc/make.conf ?

thanks

ls -lah /etc  | grep make.profile

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root  root      48 apr 12 07:19 make.profile -> ../usr/portage/p rofiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0
Comment 6 dams (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-09 03:21:18 UTC
OK, my bad, I know wher it comes from :

can you edit /usr/bin/profuse and comment the line 57 :
change 
-l $profile_dir and $profile_dir = readlink $profile_dir;
to
#-l $profile_dir and $profile_dir = readlink $profile_dir;

This should make it work again
If it does, I'll apply the modification
Comment 7 Pieter Baele 2005-05-09 03:31:07 UTC
works perfectly, thx for the help
Comment 8 dams (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-09 04:36:37 UTC
bug corrected in profuse 0.20.3, should be on the mirrors soon.
Feel free to reopen the bug if a problem occurs.
Thanks for the debugging help
