Bug 197423 – net-fs/samba-3.0.26a always removes the docs

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99375
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dmitry Karasik 2007-10-29 14:48:00 UTC]

there's code in postrm in the ebuild that reads:

        # If stale docs, and one isn't re-emerging the latest version, removes
        # (this is actually a portage bug, though)
        [[ -n ${PF} && ! -f ${ROOT}/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PN}/en.msg ]] && \
                rm -rf "${ROOT}"/usr/share/doc/${PF}


Unfortunately en.msg doesn't exist for me, and I am remerging. So the install ends up wiping out the docs dir.

Attach the emerge.log here.

You mean /var/log/emerge.log?

No, I mean samba emerge log, like, `emerge samba &> log`

Attached emerge output.

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-10-30 20:57:27 UTC]

As the log clearly shows, no docs are deleted.

[Comment 8 Dmitry Karasik 2007-10-31 11:34:00 UTC]

The log doesn't show it, because this happens in postrm and not output is printed for it. I can assure you that when emerge terminates the /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.26a directory does not exist!
