Description Petr Zima 2021-12-07 17:18:09 UTC

The build of xdg-utils fails due to a recent change in xmlto ebuild:

---x---
commit 74c0148d970b95d767cd36bc0b8010a062906478
Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>
Date:   Wed Nov 10 04:58:36 2021 +0000

    app-text/xmlto: don't hardcode paths to utilities
    
    Causes issues with say --root.
---x---

The relevant portion of xmlto-0.0.28-dont-hardcode-paths.patch:

---x---
-LINKS_PATH=@LINKS@
...
+LINKS_PATH=$(command -v links)
---x---

The command does not check for elinks which can be used as an alternative to links, I suggest something like

+LINKS_PATH=$(command -v elinks || command -v links)

in order to fix the issue.


Reproducible: Always
