Description James Broadhead 2010-01-15 12:18:18 UTC

Installing recent audacity, each time it is run, it appears with an error popup.

==> Directory '/usr/share/audacity/help' couldn't be created (Error 13: Permission denied)

Creating this dir, then running again gets: 

==> Directory '/usr/share/audacity/help/manual' couldn't be created (Error 13: Permission denied)

Creating both these dirs removes the error. The ebuild should create these dirs. (audacity doesn't actually populate them with anything)


Reproducible: Always

No audacity version given, but this is fixed in Audacity 1.3.10 and later. To get the local manual the ebuild needs a doc useflag adding which pulls down the zipped html manual and installs it.

I got this error in 1.3.8 version. It's the current stable.

Please add `dodir /usr/share/audacity/help/manual || die` to the ebuild.

Is this really a bug?  Could someone test and confirm it on the latest version (1.3.12)?  Thanks.

Closing as per comment #1. I'll probably add a doc use flag and local manual to the next revision.
