Created attachment 883504 [details] emerge --info gentoo-kernel-bin Tested this on 2 computers. Content of /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.13/CONTENTS claims that package installed file which doesn't exist. stat /usr/src/linux-6.6.13-gentoo-dist/arch/x86/boot/uki.efi stat: cannot statx '/usr/src/linux-6.6.13-gentoo-dist/arch/x86/boot/uki.efi': No such file or directory grep uki.efi /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.13/CONTENTS obj /usr/src/linux-6.6.13-gentoo-dist/arch/x86/boot/uki.efi d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 1706474391 This breaks my scripts witch rely on qfile to give accurate file locations. tar fails if files are missing. I'm attaching output of emerge --info gentoo-kernel-bin
These files are installed, and then removed in postinst if we don't have USE=generic-uki. It is a side-effect of us wanting to avoid duplication and not having both the kernel+initrd and the uki (which contains the kernel and initrd) in generated binpkgs. And we want to list these files explicitly as owned by gentoo-kernel to ensure they are cleaned up on package removal if some custom initrd or uki was generated. Nothing we can do here, this behaviour is intentional.
