Bug 25881 – net-www/dansguardian will not compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description RumpletonBongworth 2003-08-04 09:04:04 UTC]

Hi, upon trying to emerge net-www/dansguardian (both versions 2.7.1 and 2.7.2) a
build error occurs as follows:

Generating platform specific logrotation...
Generating platform specific logrotate.d script...

[snip]

if [ -f /sbin/chkconfig ]; then /sbin/chkconfig --add dansguardian; fi
if [ -f /usr/sbin/update-rc.d ]; then /usr/sbin/update-rc.d dansguardian
defaults 50; fi
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/ ]; then cp -f ./logrotate.dansguardian
/var/tmp/portage/dansguardian-2.7.1/image//etc/logrotate.d/dansguardian; fi
cp: cannot create regular file
`/var/tmp/portage/dansguardian-2.7.1/image//etc/logrotate.d/dansguardian': No
such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

!!! ERROR: net-www/dansguardian-2.7.1 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 25, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

This error occurs regardless of whether logrotate is actually installed or not.
I have tested on three Gentoo boxes, one of which is my server (running the
older toolchain), and the other two being desktops which were recently built
with the new standard x86-1.4 profile and corresponding toolchain.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply attempt to install.



Expected Results:  
Installed without a hitch ;-)

It seems that the /var/tmp/portage/dansguardian-x.x.x/image/etc/logrotate.d
directory is not created, thus preventing from the dansguardian logrotate script
from being created underneath that directory.

Working ebuild

Simple fix, just having the ebuild create the directory before calling make
install

Here's the diff.

fixed, i didn't notice this because i don't have logrotate installed and never encountered the issue
