• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Denilson Sá Maia 2005-11-29 11:19:06 UTC]

After compiling xsane, I get this message at /var/log/portage/2772-xsane-0.97.
log:

/gentoo/tmp_portage/portage-pkg/xsane-0.97/inf/xsane-0.97.ebuild: line 64: [: =: 
unary operator expected

xsane appears to work, though.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable logs at portage FEATURES. (optional)
2. emerge xsane
3. Look at emerge output/log, you will find above error message.

Could not reproduce it, but tried a little modification which possibly fixes it
for you. In CVS, thanks for the hint. Closing as WORKSFORME (the worst
consequence of this bug could be that you don't see a warning message that you
are unlikely to see anyway). Thanks anyway.

[Comment 2 Denilson Sá Maia 2005-11-30 07:29:00 UTC]

Ok, I saw the change you did. From:
if [ $OLDXSANE = 'yes' ]; then
to:
if [ x${OLDXSANE} = 'xyes' ]; then
If that is bash (or sh) syntax, you can also use this:
if [ "$OLDXSANE" = 'yes' ]; then
The double-quotes may solve that too. Maybe you would prefer to change to 
double-quotes.

Thanks, anyway.
