Bug 3229 – Failure to emerge scrollkeeper with gnome2 and gcc-3.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description José Fonseca 2002-05-30 12:28:35 UTC]

When emerging scrollkeeper with gnome2 and gcc-3.1 profile the following error
occurs:

installing catalog
>>> Rebuilding Scrollkeeper database...
scrollkeeper-update: /usr/local/share/omf: No such file or directory
scrollkeeper-update: /opt/gnome/share/omf: No such file or directory
scrollkeeper-update: /opt/gnome-2.0/share/omf: No such file or directory
scrollkeeper-update: /opt/kde/omf: No such file or directory
Registering 
/usr/share/omf/scrollkeeper/writing_scrollkeeper_omf_files-C.omf
>>> Updating Scrollkeeper database...
Could not create database.  Aborting update.
!!! pkg_postinst() script failed; exiting.

Creating those directories eliminate the warnings but it still fails to create
the database. And all gnome packages with use scrollkeeper fail in that point as
well, giving always a message like:

>>> Updating Scrollkeeper database...
Could not create database.  Aborting update.
!!! pkg_postinst() script failed; exiting.

Although in every case the package is considered emerged.

No difference:

localhost balsa # scrollkeeper-update -v
Could not create database.  Aborting update.

localhost balsa # scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -v

/var/log/scrollkeeper.log has exactly the same thing. I also had similar
problems with gconf and the schemas directory. I haven't booted this system (I'm
still running on the chroot environment) so I'm not sure if the programs will
work at all.

Here is my USE flags:

USE="mmx sse apm pcmcia -kde -arts gnome gtk bonobo gtkhtml alsa esd mozilla
tetex samba -nls -gpm -svga mbox"

This bug is already known and fixed  in scrollkeeper's cvs. Until spider updates scrollkeeper,  apply this patch by yourself and have a working scrollkeeper:  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=745646&forum_id=4112      Btw, this bug does not only happens on SPARC, gcc 3.1 seems  to trigger this error also on ia32 architechtures.    Cheers,    Andreas    

[Comment 4 José Fonseca 2002-05-31 05:07:14 UTC]

Thanks! It works fine now. I've made a new ebuild with this which I'll attach.

[Comment 5 José Fonseca 2002-05-31 05:10:07 UTC]

Created attachment 1252 [details]
scrollkeeper-0.3.8-r1.ebuild

Note, it seems to be a problem with the "myconf" variable (which was before).
emerge says:

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: myconf: command not found

My USE flags do include "-nls"...

[Comment 6 José Fonseca 2002-05-31 05:11:11 UTC]

Created attachment 1253 [details, diff]
