When emerging app-emulation/wine-vanilla-3.7, postinst fails with the following error:

Manually trying to set the wine version using `eselect wine` fails with the same "Missing listing of include symlinks" error.

I'm seeing the same behaviour after installing wine-staging-3.7. Symlinks from ie. winecfg-staging-3.7 to winecfg can't be made by eselect.

@tlatoani

A dump of your internal eselect-wine configuration files would be useful to diagnose the issue.

In other words, the output from:

find /etc/eselect/wine/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} sh -c 'echo -e "\n{}"; cat "{}"'


You also need to attach the build log from:

=app-emulation/wine-vanilla-3.7::gentoo

Output of emerge --jobs=1 wine-vanilla

Hello Bob,

Thanks for responding to my bug report.

I added the contents of my eselect-wine files and the redirected output of `emerge --jobs=1 wine-vanilla`, as Portage left no build log.

[Comment 5 tlatoani 2018-05-22 03:27:43 UTC]

I would like to add that recursively removing the /etc/eselect/wine subdirectory allowed wine-vanilla to install properly and register itself using eselect-wine.

I used wine-vanilla from Bob's overlay (bobwya overlay) in the past; apparently, unmerging eselect-wine::bobwya does not remove the files under /etc/eselect/wine. This causes a conflict with eselect-wine::gentoo, borking the registration using eselect-wine.

In short, this was a problem with the eselect-wine ebuild from Bob's overlay, so we can close this bug as invalid.
