Bug 216094 – linux-mod.eclass: syntax error at line 409

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description JING Cheng 2008-04-03 21:34:54 UTC]

When I was upgrading ati-drivers from 8.40.4 to 8.471.3.3, installing failed with error message that /usr/portage/eclass/linux-mod.eclass has syntax error at line 409.

Then I open that file and change it from
 # then we install it
407         if kernel_is ge 2 6                                                              
408             insinto /etc/modprobe.d
409         else
410             insinto /etc/modules.d
411         fi

to

406 # then we install it
407         if kernel_is ge 2 6
408         then                                                                
409             insinto /etc/modprobe.d
410         else
411             insinto /etc/modules.d
412         fi

and then everything goes on well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords;
2. emerge -av ati-drivers


Actual Results:  
The package should be installed successfully.

Expected Results:  
It fails with the error message I mentioned above.

WHY is this assigned to base-system with a component of baselayout? It's an eclass first off and secondly.. at the very top of linux-mod.eclass

We are not a catch all address.

Lastly this issue has been fixed for several hours. Update your tree.
