merging with LINGUAS="" fixes it. build.log to follow. If someone has a chance to take a look at it before me, great. If not, it's a reminder to do something about this before Gnome 2.22 goes gold.
Created attachment 144724 [details] build.log for gnome-base/control-center-2.21.92 with LINGUAS="fr"
It happens with en_GB too.
This appears to be caused by the gnome-doc-utils-fix patch being applied. The addition of `pwd` to _DOC_ABS_SRCDIR ends up tacking on the current path to the source dir, producing a bogus path. I'm not sure what the Right Thing to do here is but removing the patch fixes build.
removing the patch works for me. thanks Sean Burke
@Saleem, Portage ChangeLog says you added that patch. Do you remember why it was needed in the first place? Do we risk anything removing it?
I don't think so. After a quick look I don't see any issue that can happen without it. I think we can safely remove this patch.
*** Bug 211942 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
not sure why the patch was introduced but: 1) couldn't reproduce this issue with it in 2.22.1 2) it seems the patch prevented installation of omf files so I removed the patch, closing.
