Description Nick Bowler 2024-10-17 17:25:26 UTC
Hi,

With USE=vim-pager, vim installs absolute symbolic links in $EPREFIX/usr/bin
that point outside the prefix (to nothing, in my case):

  % ls -l /usr/bin/vim*pager
  ... /SCRATCH/gentoo/usr/bin/vimmanpager -> /usr/share/vim/vim91/macros/manpager.sh
  ... /SCRATCH/gentoo/usr/bin/vimpager -> /usr/share/vim/vim91/macros/less.sh

This obviously prevents these commands from working.  Fixing these
symlinks is enough to make it work properly.

This can be fixed by using dosym -r to install relative symlinks instead.
