Bug 421191 – app-arch/libarchive-3.0.4-r1 causes ebuilds using elibtoolize to fail on ~amd64-fbsd

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Richard Yao (RETIRED) 2012-06-15 03:09:18 UTC]

All ebuilds using elibtoolize fail to build on ~amd64-fbsd immediately after invoking "libtoolize --install --copy --force --automake". Here is an example:

***** libtoolize *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libxml2-2.8.0-r1/work/libxml2-2.8.0
***** libtoolize --install --copy --force --automake

libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess' to `./'
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub' to `./'
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/libtool/config/install-sh' to `./'
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh' to `./'
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `m4/'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4' to `m4/'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltoptions.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4' to `m4/'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltsugar.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4' to `m4/'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltversion.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
libtoolize: can not copy `/usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4' to `m4/'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.

floppym pointed out that libtoolize depended on tar. After downgrading to app-arch/libarchive-3.0.3 on my system, this issue disappeared.

=app-arch/libarchive-3.0.4-r1 is now masked on FreeBSD.

What do you get with "libtoolize --install --copy --force --automake --debug" or "libtoolize --install --copy --force --verbose"? I have no problem on x86-fbsd.

please do _NOT_ mask packages unless the problem is identified and you are sure it is not a ricing or pebcak problem; even less if you plan to leave it as such for 5 months

works fine here too, hence unmasked.
