Bug 878855 – net-analyzer/suricata python shebang invalid

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description nic 2022-10-31 05:18:43 UTC]

The configure phase of suricata-6.0.8.ebuild changes HAVE_PYTHON from /usr/bin/python3 to /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/suricata-6.0.8/temp/python3.10/bin/python3 (YMMV based on current packages installed)

That shebang header remains set into the install image, resulting in these suricata python scripts failing to find the sandbox build interpreter 


head -1 /usr/bin/suricata*

==> /usr/bin/suricatactl <==
#! /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/suricata-6.0.8/temp/python3.10/bin/python3

==> /usr/bin/suricatasc <==
#! /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/suricata-6.0.8/temp/python3.10/bin/python3

==> /usr/bin/suricata-update <==
#! /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/suricata-6.0.8/temp/python3.10/bin/python3



exec 'python3 /usr/bin/suricata-update' as a workaround

hope this helps :)

Needs a revbump.

My bad, I wanted to tweak some more things in the ebuild and only revbump at the end but ran out of time. Will do one some time today, regardless of whether I make time for further changes or not.

nic: Thank you for the report! I wonder when this changed... Clearly after the last time I'd run suricata-update :-)
