Bug 98916 – rt2500-1.1.0_beta2-r2 - post-install text displays "${PF}" instead of version number.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kevin Parent 2005-07-13 12:33:53 UTC]

Post-installation text displays the ebuild variable "${PF}" instead of the
correct version number.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge rt2500
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Installs correctly, but the post-install text shows "${PF}" instead of version
number as illustrated below.

 * Updating module dependencies for 2.6.12-ck3 ...                        [ ok ]
* Updating modules.conf ...                                              [ ok ]
* Adding module to moduledb.
 * If you would like to load this module automatically upon boot
 * please type the following as root:
 *     # echo "rt2500" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
 *
 * to set up the card you can use:
 * - iwconfig from wireless-tools
 * - iwpriv, like described in "/usr/share/doc/${PF}/iwpriv_usage.txt"
 * - /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat, like described in
"/usr/share/doc/${PF}/README"
 * - RT2500 provided qt API: RaConfig2500


Expected Results:  
Display the "package-version".  Could probably use a line break to make it look
neater and more readable.

The arguments to einfo needs to be in "", not '', to have variables expanded.

thanks, fixed

Also:

"/usr/share/doc/${PF}/iwpriv_usage.txt"

should be:

"/usr/share/doc/${PF}/iwpriv_usage.txt.gz"

(you missed the .gz extension).

I copy and paste those paths, and the file wasn't found.

Thank you, I fixed that too, but please open a new bug next time you find a
problem. No good habit to continue closed bugs ..
