Bug 322005 – app-arch/gzip-1.4: Emerge fails because of "invalid shebangs"

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Moritz Lipfert 2010-05-29 15:06:23 UTC]

While bootstraping Gentoo Prefix on Mac OS X 10.6.3 the installation of gzip-1.4 fails with the error message "invalid shebangs found".

Temporary fix without modifying the ebuild: 
Open "$EPREFIX/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/gzip-1.4/image/$EPREFIX/bin/gunzip with an editor and correct the path in the first line. Resume the installation with "ebuild $EPREFIX/usr/portage/app-arch/gzip/gzip-1.4.ebuild merge".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "emerge gzip"

Actual Results:  
Emerge process fails with the message "invalid shebangs found".

Expected Results:  
Emerge continues without an error.

Do you have the original error message around still, perhaps?

What program isn't found?  Did you follow the bootstrap guide?

[Comment 2 Moritz Lipfert 2010-05-29 15:15:51 UTC]

Yes, I followed the bootstrap guide step for step.

I have forgot to mention that the error message refers to "/local/gentoo/bin/bash". My eprefix is "/usr/local/gentoo". You can see that "/usr" is missing. So I have add it in the first line of "gunzip" and resumed the merge. That works flawlessly. If needed I will add the whole logfile in a few minutes, when my bootstrap is done.

hmmm, bash should be in /bin, not in /usr/bin.

In my case the path has to be "/usr/local/gentoo/bin/bash" because of my eprefix. The unmodified shebang in gunzip refers to "/local/gentoo/bin/bash". The eprefix is not correct built in the gunzip-file.

aha, so that seems to be a problem with gzip and your prefix (/usr/local/gentoo), not so much a bootstrapping failure then.

*exact* same issue as bug 307537.
