Description Dominik Diesch 2015-09-16 16:02:46 UTC 
sys-apps/dbus creates the link /var/lib/dbus/machine-id -> /etc/machine-id - which is appreciated. However when cross compiling, the link destination includes the the root path of the host. 

Example: 
emerge-armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi sys-apps/dbus

creates a link to
/usr/armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/etc/machine-id

It seems that the ${EROOT%/} prefix in pkg_postinst() is the culprit.

Right, I think we should probably do this instead:

ln -sf "${EPREFIX}"/etc/machine-id "${EROOT%/}"/var/lib/dbus/machine-id
