I found some stray files in /usr/share/doc. It seems that emerging dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.73-r3 installs them in the wrong place: $ equery belongs /usr/share/doc/*.{pdf,dvi,tex} [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/doc/dwdoc.pdf,/usr/share/doc/gcl-si.dvi,/usr/share/doc/gcl-tk.dvi,/usr/share/doc/dwdoc.tex in *... ] dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3 (/usr/share/doc/dwdoc.tex) dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3 (/usr/share/doc/dwdoc.pdf) dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3 (/usr/share/doc/gcl-tk.dvi) dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3 (/usr/share/doc/gcl-si.dvi) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge or ebuild dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3. In this example ebuild is run from /usr/portage/dev-lisp/gcl: frayser@gentoo /usr/portage/dev-lisp/gcl $ ebuild *r3* install 2. Check the result. After ebuild, check the image directory. Or after an emerge check /usr/share/doc. frayser@gentoo /var/tmp/portage/dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3/image $ find . -name "*.pdf" ./usr/share/doc/dwdoc.pdf NOTE: I tried running ebuild ... postinst but that didn't move the files to the proper location either. 3. Look for other misplaced files: frayser@gentoo /var/tmp/portage/dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7-r3/image $ ls -F usr/share/doc |grep -v -- '-[0-9]' dwdoc/ dwdoc.pdf dwdoc.tex gcl-si.dvi gcl-tk.dvi NOTE: the dwdoc/ directory is also misplaced. Actual Results: The following are in usr/share/doc/ dwdoc/ dwdoc.pdf dwdoc.tex gcl-si.dvi gcl-tk.dvi Expected Results: Those items listed above should have been placed in usr/share/doc/ghc-2.6.7-r3/ See ChangeLog 12 Jan 2006, bug 116117 which mentions two of the same files; but not dwdoc/, the pdf and the tex files.
Checks for same problem in previous versions: 2.6.7.ebuild doesn't build (No configure.{ac,in} present!) #236391 2.6.7-r1.ebuild doesn't build (No configure.{ac,in}) #236391 2.6.7-r2.ebuild misplaces the same documentation files into /usr/share/doc/ as the 2.6.7-r3 ebuild. (same as this bug)
RESOLVED WONTFIX. This package is masked for many months. We may make an attempt to revive it, but not in the near future. You're free to reopen if you want. But as Marijn says: # Marijn Schouten <hkBst at gentoo dot org> (29 Jul 2009) # Masked for increasingly many problems. Upstream is flaky and hasn't released since 2005. # Maxima is the only consumer and can be built with sbcl or clisp. # Hopefully upstream will do a release that we can add to revive this package. dev-lisp/gcl
