Description pavel sanda 2006-10-20 07:45:12 UTC

when trying to create sfx archive from a given rar archive through standard

rar sfx arachive.rar

rar is not able to find sfx header.
studing closely the whole thing, rar searches for file
/usr/local/etc/fx
while the installed file is
/usr/local/etc/default.sfx

adding "dosym /usr/local/etc/default.sfx /usr/local/etc/fx" into
ebuild should solve the bug.

We won't symlink anything in(to) /usr/local, that's plain wrong location and we don't install anything there. Unless you have some other solution that doesn't touch /usr/local, ask usptream to fix it.

Comment 2 pavel sanda 2006-10-20 08:16:10 UTC

/usr/local/etc/ is hardcoded in binary. so if we cant touch there,it seems this
bug cant be now fixed.

you are right /usr/local/etc/default.sfx was not done by ebuild. my mistake.
