Description Gabriele Svelto 2024-03-26 08:31:56 UTC

I migrated an installation from the `default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib` profile to the `default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/no-multilib` profile, following the instructions available here: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2024-03-22-new-23-profiles.html using binary packages available from https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64-v3/

After the upgrade the www-servers/apache packaged couldn't be rebuilt because of a failure in the `/usr/share/apr/build/libtool` tool that belongs to the `dev-libs/apr` package. Inspecting the contents of the tool shows that it looks for several commands (such as `sed` and `grep`) into `/usr/bin` instead of `/bin`.

The problem appears to be also in the latest binary package available which is this one if I'm not mistaken:

https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/binpackages/23.0/x86-64-v3/dev-libs/apr/apr-1.7.4-2.gpkg.tar

Merging the package from source fixes the issue, so it seems to be only a problem with the binary package.

Reproducible: Always

    dev-libs/apr: fix hardcoded paths to grep, sed, bash
    
    Just like we did in dev-build/libtool (apr installs its own in /usr/share).

I'm glad I could help find out issues with the binary packages. I'm a long-time user and I don't mind a little breakage now and then, but I think they're a huge boon for new users and will greatly help making Gentoo more accessible. Thank you for fixing these issues so quickly!
