Comment 1 Alexey Mishustin 2013-08-06 15:57:29 UTC

I confirm, my laptop is affected of this bug: x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.6.2 creates directory /usr/locale.

Strange that laptop only affected. On my other machine (not laptop), x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.6.2 creates normal directory /usr/share/locale.

I could include here build logs and 'emerge --info' from my laptop, if needed.

Comment 2 Alexey Mishustin 2013-08-07 13:48:25 UTC

I re-emerged x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.6.2 on my another machine and /usr/locale appeared there too. So, the current ebuild installs the current sources to /usr/locale unconditionally.

The log of my previous install of x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.6.2 is dated 2013-06-24, and that install was correct, to /usr/share/locale.

So, something has changed in the ebuild or in the sources from 2013-06-24.

Comment 3 Alexey Mishustin 2013-08-07 14:52:42 UTC

As I could understand, the problem is in variable DATADIRNAME in the file po/Makefile.in.in. This variable doesn't get value "share" - is empty instead - on the stage of installing, and the variable localedir results in "/usr//locale" instead of "/usr/share/locale".

This should be fixed by upstream in 3.8.3

OK. Thanks for the reply.

Meanwhile, I had a free day today... Learning Gentoo etc :)

I have been able to install x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.6.2 with the correct directories. All that was needed for it - to find the old copy of po/Makefile.in.in.

I'm attaching the .diff file, rolling the po/Makefile.in.in back to that old copy.
