Is that expected? tell me if I should file a new bug

[Comment 2 Myckel Habets 2011-09-14 18:35:54 UTC]

All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-text/poppler-data-0.4.4" have been masked.

stabilizing poppler-data-0.4.4 as well?

[Comment 3 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2011-09-15 06:13:09 UTC]

would have to.

emerges ok. rdeps ok. however

gentoo64 / # ls -ld /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript
ls: cannot access /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript: No such file or directory

* One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
* ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible:

implies it ought to have been preserved.

Yes, please (it contains the cMap's which we strip from ghostscript).

That's perfectly fine. Previously the files were installed by gnu-gs-fonts-std which has been replaced by urw-fonts nowadays and the old ghostscript ebuild symlinked the location for compatibility reasons. The recent ghostscript ebuild has the urw-fonts search path directly appended, so a symlink /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript which points to urw-fonts isn't needed anymore.

Thanks Timo for the info.


both ok on amd64 for me.

+1

[Comment 10 Markus Meier 2011-09-18 22:00:54 UTC]

x86 stable, thanks Myckel and David

[Comment 11 Markus Meier 2011-10-05 05:50:50 UTC]

arm stable

[Comment 12 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-10-05 16:55:09 UTC]

Amazing that bug #367239 isn't fixed yet.

[Comment 13 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-10-06 17:41:34 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 14 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-10-12 16:24:23 UTC]

ppc* stable (both compile tested)

[Comment 15 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2011-10-19 21:17:03 UTC]

Please proceed with -r4 instead of -r3, it contains a small fix/workaround (pstoraster symlink) for bug #383831 which affects stable users.
