Bug 51035 – Typo in nxcomp-1.3.2.ebuild causes critical library not to be installed

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 51024
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roland Rasmussen 2004-05-14 05:21:11 UTC]

There's a typo in the nxcomp-1.3.2.ebuild which causes portage to attempt installation of the non-existent libXcomp.so.1.3.0 library instead of the correct libXcomp.so.1.3.2 library.

As a result binaries of packages using the nxcomp packages, such as nxclient, nxserver-XXX, will FAIL to work with error messages like ie. "error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.1"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nxcomp-1.3.2.ebuild
2. run ie. nxclient
3.

Actual Results:  
error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.1

Expected Results:  
Found the library ...

The error is on line 31 in nxcomp-1.3.2.ebuild. It reads:

        dolib libXcomp.so.1.3.0

It should read:

        dolib libXcomp.so.1.3.2

Looks like it was carried over from the ebuild version bump.
It seems like they should have used ${PV} instead of explicitly entering the version number.
It would be less maintenance for later.

Created attachment 31410 [details, diff]
This should (permanently?) fix the problem.  Trivial, but whatever ...
