Bug 191026 – dev-util/libconf-0.42.10-r1: install fails on conf2xml.so with "File exists"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Daniel Santos 2007-09-02 03:56:57 UTC]

My initial guess is that Gentoo patching of the handling of this file is causing it to mis-use install, supplying a destination file, which is actually the dest dir.  I haven't examined the Makefile and such yet.

Strange, I was able to solve the problem by unmerging libconf and then remerging it :(  Oh yea, this came up in my revdep-rebuild list

Well, if you find a way to reproduce it, reopen.
