Bug 142786 – celestia-1.4.1 pollutes / when USE="gnome gtk nls threads -arts -debug -kde -lua"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Catmur 2006-08-04 06:46:56 UTC]

$ ls -l /
...
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     19 2006-08-03 18:18 celestia -> /usr/share/celestia/
...

The problem is that the Makefile.am patch has:

 install-data-hook:
+               mv -f -b $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/@PACKAGE@/* $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/@PACKAGE@/ ; \
+               rmdir $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/@PACKAGE@ ; \
+               ln -s $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@ $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir) ;

This only makes sense when USE=kde, otherwise $(kde_datadir) is blank and DESTDIR gets the symlink.

The hook should be removed from the patch or protected with 
        if [ "$(kde_datadir)" ]

I just noticed this because the broken ebuild was marked stable.  It fails on an access violation trying to rmdir /celestia.

This ebuild should be masked until this is fixed.


mv -f -b /celestia/* /usr/portage/distfiles/tmp/portage/celestia-1.4.1/image//usr/share/celestia/ ; \
        rmdir /celestia ; \
        ln -s /usr/portage/distfiles/tmp/portage/celestia-1.4.1/image//usr/share/celestia  ;
mv: cannot stat `/celestia/*': No such file or directory
ACCESS DENIED  rmdir:     /celestia
rmdir: /celestia: Permission denied
ln: creating symbolic link `./celestia' to `/usr/portage/distfiles/tmp/portage/celestia-1.4.1/image//usr/share/celestia': File exists

I'm still getting this when only using USE="gtk". Any ETA on a fix?

Could you test the celestia in the gentooscience.org overlay?
This should fix it and bug #128218 as well.

Server seems down. Instructions?
