[gentoo-alt] Have to make a change to the ebuild every time I build Chromium - am I doing something wrong?

[Asfand Qazi]

Hi,

I have to always edit the Chromium ebuild to make them work on my 
system, or else I get the following error:


 >>> Install chromium-14.0.825.0 into 
/var/tmp/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/www-client/chromium-14.0.825.0/image/var/tmp/gentoo/ 
category www-client

line 6581:

sed: can't read 
/var/tmp/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/www-client/chromium-14.0.825.0/image//usr/share/applications/*.desktop: 
No such file or directory


I have to apply the following patch every time to it to make it work:

Excuse me for the line-wrapping.

I've already opened a ticket about this ( 
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367651  ), can anyone tell me if 
I'm doing something wrong to have to keep doing this?

Thanks
