Description Dennis Conrad 2002-07-24 17:31:08 UTC

I am unable to merge Ghostscript 7.05.3-r1. It compiles well but fails to install:

./src/instcopy -c -m 644 pstoraster/pstoraster.convs
/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3/image/`cups-config --serverroot`
cp: preserving permissions for
`/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3/image//usr/share/ghostscript/fonts':
Invalid argument

I was able to workaround this by changing "cp -a" to "cp -R" in line 55 of
/usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild . This doesn't
preserves permissions, so I don't know if it works on the long run!

I saw a similar report recently.  The problem isn't ghostscript, it's cp.

Comment 2 Dennis Conrad 2002-07-24 18:44:43 UTC

Grant pointed me in the right direction, this is the same bug as #3582.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
