Bug 24726 – net-print/foomatic-db-20030716: Makefile.in bug & fix

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description TGL 2003-07-18 04:55:40 UTC]

I've tried to emerge "net-print/foomatic-db-20030716" with "ppds" flag enabled,
and had the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <snip>
  ...printer HP-DeskJet_500C, driver hpdj
  ...printer Okidata-Microline_192plus, driver oki182
  ...printer Kyocera-FS-1200, driver ljet4d
Done.
cp: cannot open `/usr/bin/sperl5.6.1' for reading: Permission denied
make: *** [filters-ppds] Error 1
 
!!! ERROR: net-print/foomatic-db-20030716 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 45, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This happens during the "make DESTDIR=${D} filters-ppds" in the
foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0 directory. In fact, to install the man pages, the
Makefile does this: 
  cp $${foomatic_filters_root}/*.1 $${packagename}/share/man/man1

But the $${foomatic_filters_root} should not be there, since its value is
obviously "/usr/bin". Man pages are in the current directory at this point, so
what I've done is removing this wrong prefix in the Makefile.in:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
src_unpack() {
	mkdir foomatic
	cd foomatic
	unpack foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0.tar.gz
	unpack foomatic-db-${PV}.tar.gz
	cd foomatic-db-engine-3.0.0
	mv Makefile.in Makefile.in.orig
	sed s:'cp\ \$\${foomatic_filters_root}/\*\.1':'cp\ \*\.1': \
	  < Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in
	cd ..
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

It does work as expected. This fix is not needed in the foomatic-db-engine
ebuild, because the "filters-ppds" section of the Makefile is not used.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch /usr/bin/i_should_not_be_copied.1
2. chmod ugo-r /usr/bin/i_should_not_be_copied.1
3. USE="ppds" emerge foomatic-db

Actual Results:  
<snip>
cp: cannot open `/usr/bin/i_should_not_be_copied.1' for reading: Permission denied
<snip>

Expected Results:  
Install some man pages in the build directory, and then forget them here,
instead of failing on some unreadable /usr/bin files.
