(In reply to Patrick Lauer from comment #0) > By traversing depth-first they run into an infinite loop, this is an > unwarranted change in behaviour compared to previous versions. you might want to avoid editorializing when you don't understand the system. deleting 2MB of duplicate data is not "unwarranted". we might consider temporarily disabling the symlink (and keeping the duplicate data), but mariadb/etc... should be fixed.

I am actual unable to install any timezone-data package (2013d is also not working). OK, fixed: sys-apps/file-5.12-r1 was causing the problem. After updating to sys-apps/file-5.15 I can now emerge sys-libs/timezone-data again. Sorry for any noise. Also prevents postgres-8.4 from starting ftr. (In reply to Greg Turner from comment #6) > Also prevents postgres-8.4 from starting ftr. Oops, looks like that was already noted via bug dependencies. xfce-base/xfce4-panel also suffers from this: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11495 Having /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix -> . symlink is completely wrong. /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix should contain only timezone information files, it shouldn't contain /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/posix which contains /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/posix/posix etc. This problem could be solved without duplicating 2 MB of data. E.g. on Ubuntu /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix is a folder which contains symlinks to all timezone files in /usr/share/zoneinfo. So reopen this bug please. Please replace that with a directory of symlinks then. Patching random Gentoo packages to support this is unacceptable. (In reply to Michał Górny from comment #9) very few packages actually walk the db directly. if they fail to handle circ loops, then fix them and send the patches upstream. this is a bit moot w/2015c-r1 at any rate. |
