Description rick vernam 2019-05-08 19:32:43 UTC
Opera will always start it's auto-update process, but it will never succeed under Gentoo.  Instead, the update process exits, but Opera doesn't wait on it, resulting in a zombie.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Opera
2. Wait some time (how long I don't know - I haven't checked)
3. View opera_autoupdate zombie process
Actual Results:  
opera_autoupdate is a zombie.

Expected Results:  
opera_autoupdate never runs, as it is not useful on Gentoo.

As there is not a configuration within Opera to disable to auto-update process, we could simply remove /usr/lib64/opera/opera_autoupdate after installation.
I have removed the file from my system and everything seems okay.
