Description

I really question if this is worth the effort of creating an eselect-controlled symlink and moving everything around. For people who want the override, they could add a symlink or shell script in /usr/local/bin. The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=43807853b0b9335a2c51a7b92820f9ee2091dcff commit 43807853b0b9335a2c51a7b92820f9ee2091dcff Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2022-09-06 03:36:46 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2022-09-06 03:36:46 +0000 profiles/base: mask app-arch/lbzip2[symlink], app-arch/pigz[symlink] Incompatible with merged-usr and is a fundamentally flaky approach. - app-arch/lbzip2: bug #868318 (possible solution in bug #868651) - app-arch/pigz: bug #868312 (possible solution in bug #868648) It's suggested that users who want this feature use a wrapper script in /usr/local (or otherwise on PATH), or configure tools like tar to use lbzip2 & pigz respectively using EXTRA_ECONF.

Done for bzip2 at https://bugs.gentoo.org/868651#c7.
