Bug 491736 – postgres fails install with "QA concerns" because of /usr/share/postgresql-9.4 folder outside the prefix.

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Chris 2013-11-20 06:02:02 UTC]

Created attachment 363616 [details]
build log, and output of the above two commands.  Note the commands were run an a 'fixed' ebuild.

On MacOS X under prefix,
"emerge postgres" fails with the message below.

I was able to work around it by commenting out the following line from the ebuild:
#mkdir -p "${D}/usr/share/postgresql-${SLOT}"

I did attach the files as the instructions below say, but, I think the emerge commands might be picking up my fixed version rather than the original ebuild (I promise they are identical except as I explained.)

Thanks.

Thanks, indeed fixing the mkdir to use ED instead of D avoids this out of prefix issue.  Committed now.
