Description Tom Forsythe 2003-03-01 17:45:09 UTC 
The unpack phase of the app-games/umodpack-0.5_beta16 ebuild fails to extract
the files in the correct directory.  The ebuild makes a change to the P variable
to download the correct archive (umodpack-0.5b16-nogui.tar.gz), but the files
end up in the umodpack-0.5b16 directory, not the umodpack-0.5_beta16 directory.
 The ebuild should either ensure the files are in the umodpack-0.5_beta16
directory, or expect the files in the umodpack-0.5b16 directory.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge the umodpack file
2. During the start of the compile phase the ebuild will fail

Actual Results:  
>>> emerge (1 of 2) app-games/umodpack-0.5_beta16 to /
>>> md5 ;-) umodpack-0.5b16-nogui.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking umodpack-0.5b16-nogui.tar.gz to
/var/tmp/portage/umodpack-0.5_beta16/work
>>> Source unpacked.
Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

!!! ERROR: app-games/umodpack-0.5_beta16 failed.
!!! Function perl-module_src_compile, Line 10, Exitcode 2
!!! compilation failed


I believe this may be a change in how portage handles changes to the P variable.
 The second line of the ebuild file reads:
P="${P/_beta/b}"

Which changes the name from umodpack-0.5_beta16 to umodpack-0.5b16 to match the
real name of the archive.  When extracted, the files end up in the
umodpack-0.5b16 directory, but emerge thinks they are in the umodpack-0.5_beta16
directory.

To work around this problem, you can move the directory to the proper directory.
 ie:
mv /var/tmp/portage/umodpack-0.5_beta16/work/umodpack-0.5b16 /var/tmp/portag
e/umodpack-0.5_beta16/work/umodpack-0.5_beta16
After the files are moved, the installation should complete normally.  You can
also put this line after "src_compile() {" in the .ebuild file.
