Bug 283522 – app-emulation/virtualbox-{bin,ose}-3.0.4 don't install the VirtualBox executable

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST

[Description wayne 2009-09-02 14:54:39 UTC]

app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.0.4
and
app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-3.0.4

are broken

bash: /usr/bin/VirtualBox: No such file or directory

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.VirtualBox &
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
bash: /usr/bin/VirtualBox: No such file or directory

[1]+  Exit 127                VirtualBox

Expected Results:  
VirtualBox should have started

I will get VirtualBox from the site and see if it is broken upstream.

[Comment 1 wayne 2009-09-02 15:09:19 UTC]

Only the ebuild is broken

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/
chmod +x VirtualBox-3.0.4-50677-Linux_amd64.run
/.VirtualBox-3.0.4-50677-Linux_amd64.run

VirtualBox &

VirtualBox started just fine


I will look at the ebuild and try to fix it.

Please post your "emerge --info" and the output of

  emerge -pOv virtualbox-{bin,ose}

Worksforme ~x86.

virtualbox-bin will *not* install anything in /usr/bin cause it is a binary package. It will rather be merged in /opt/bin, which is (life is great) in your standard $PATH. Hence :
$ ls -l `which VirtualBox`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 août  17 23:35 /opt/bin/VirtualBox -> /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.sh
Can't tell about virtualbox-ose.

There's no need to CC yourself when you're the reporter of a bug. You will receive mails on changes to this bug anyway.

(In reply to comment #4)

virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-bin have the same issue.
every thing that should be in /opt/* is not being installed

once this bug is fixed we should consider marking this version of virtualbox the default install. This version is near VMware qulity.

Can't reproduce.
Please attach the list of installed files (equery f virtualbox-ose should do the trick) and possibly a build log if you can still trigger this issue.

We can close this bug it is not a big deal. Virtualbox is very easy to install from the web page. Someone will open a bug report if this becomes a real issue.
