Bug 832267 – www-client/qutebrowser-9999: emerge deletes /usr/bin/qutebrowser after installing.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description atosser 2022-01-29 02:49:19 UTC]

Today when I updated my live build of qutebrowser everthing told me the application was missing. For some reason, emerge (and pmerge) deletes /usr/bin/qutebrowser from the disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask qutebrowser-9999
2. try to run it.
Actual Results:  
qutebrowser: command not found

Expected Results:  
A lovely vimlike PyQT5 based web browser.

current stable installs fine, there are differences in the ebuilds that I did not have time to look into.

Could you try to give a log of it installing...?

e.g. ( cd /var/db/repos/gentoo/www-client/qutebrowser && ebuild qutebrowser-9999.ebuild clean install ) then attach /var/tmp/portage/www-client/qutebrowser-9999/temp/build.log?

Please emerge --sync to ensure latest tree too (emerge --info output would inform aboutthis), the live ebuild use a new distutils mode which went through a lot of changes lately.

Currently can't reproduce.

[Comment 5 Ionen Wolkens 2022-01-29 03:20:47 UTC]

Until eclass is fixed, your qutebrowser should be hiding at:
/usr/lib/python-exec/python*/qutebrowser

    games-util/sc-controller: revbump to ensure installed right
    
    Unlikely someone installed it within the timeframe the
    eclass mis-installed this, but let's play it safe.
