After enabling the lirc use flag, I have tried to emerge both the stable and unstable versions of totem. Both versions crash with a message similar to this (unstable, in this example): # emerge -pvt totem Calculating dependencies... done!

This the same as bug #270321 since the actual problem is caused by gstreamer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 270321 ***
The linked bug involved the user moving root's home dir. I have not done that. So, I do not think it is a true dupe. I did not see a workaround, solution, or fix posted anywhere. Suggestions?
the point is that the other bug describes the problems, it's in gstreamer/gnome tools that do not respect HOME env variable. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 270321 ***
Please forgive me for being dense. In the dup, bug #270321, I clearly see that the tool is trying to create directories in root's home (/root/.gconf). This would pertain to the $HOME variable. That point, I understand. However, I do not see that problem in my report below. Instead, the tool is trying to access /dev/raw1394. How is that related to $HOME? I modified the latest ebuild and added an addpredict statement for this new access problem, like so: src_configure() { # FIXME: why does it need write access here, probably need to set up a fake # home in /var/tmp like other pkgs do addpredict "$(unset HOME; echo ~)/.gconf" addpredict "$(unset HOME; echo ~)/.gconfd" addpredict "$(unset HOME; echo ~)/.gnome2" # Necessary when using 1394 with GStreamer (USE=ieee1394 dc1394) addpredict "/dev/raw1394" gnome2_src_configure } I am not sure which of the 1394 USE flags triggered this requirement, and I am not sure which GStreamer plug-in or tool was rebuilt, but I did the above USE flags to /etc/make.conf, and I updated world, which caused the original problem. Totem compiled correctly and runs as expected now. ... Attaching ebuild... Thanks for your help. :)

Please stop reopening this ticket. The problem is the same as the other one, it's gstreamer touching files in a way it should not. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 270321 ***
However, the dup neither proposes nor fixes the solution. Where I work, as long as a bug exists in the wild, we leave the ticket open until it is fixed. Can I do an emerge --sync and expect to pick up the fix I provided? Or, was it blown off too? ... I know you all are extremely busy, and I greatly appreciate your volunteer efforts, but a smidgen of mutual respect would go a long way.
The fix is improper as it's not generic. A definite solution to the problem will be discussed/implemented in bug #270321. We only keep one bug for one problem as otherwise we would just go crazy. If you want to contribute to the quality of stable ebuilds, I suggest you join the arch team of your choice so you get a chance to report these problems before they hit stable. Thanks for understanding.
