1 G'day everyone,
2
3 This is a bit of a "help me" but also a question about how things work.
4
5 The _"help me"_ relates to a bug I filed almost a month ago
6 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98622) that has yet to gain a
7 reply of _any sort_ from anyone. (I'd be happy with a "go away n00b" or
8 even a "not our problem, bug here", but nothing).
9
10 The issue happens on an emerge of skencil (a dependency of inkscape with
11 USE=plugins I believe):
12
13 Compiling
14 /var/tmp/portage/skencil-0.6.16/image///usr/lib/skencil-0.6.16/Script/usersguide.py
15 ...
16 install: `Examples' is a directory
17 gzip:
18 /var/tmp/portage/skencil-0.6.16/image/usr/share/doc/skencil-0.6.16//Examples:
19 No
20 such file or directory
21 install: `Doc' is a directory
22 gzip:
23 /var/tmp/portage/skencil-0.6.16/image/usr/share/doc/skencil-0.6.16//Doc:
24 No such file or directory
25 install: `Misc' is a directory
26 gzip:
27 /var/tmp/portage/skencil-0.6.16/image/usr/share/doc/skencil-0.6.16//Misc:
28 No such file or directory
29 man:
30 prepallstrip:
31 strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded
32 strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded

35 usr/lib/skencil-0.6.16/Lib/streamfilter.so

40 usr/lib/skencil-0.6.16/Sketch/Modules/pstokenize.so
41
42 !!! ERROR: media-gfx/skencil-0.6.16 failed.
43 !!! Function dyn_install, Line 1114, Exitcode 0
44 !!! File
45 /var/tmp/portage/skencil-0.6.16/image///usr/lib/skencil-0.6.16/Lib/paxtkinter.so
46 matches a file type that is not allowed in /usr/lib
47 !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status
48 message.
49
50 So if anyone can help with a fix, please let me know.
51
52 The _question_ relates to the fact that I've seen this sort of error a
53 number of times, but by the time I come across it it's been bugged and
54 fixed and the next emerge sync fixes it. Can someone let me know what
55 the issue is here - (mainly so I can get a handle on hacking my own
56 fixes when bug reports go unanswered) Why can't a .so file be placed in
57 /usr/lib?
58
59 I'm assuming there's some AMD64 specificity to this bug. Because a) it
60 hasn't got the attention that x86 bugs get and b) its a /usr/lib issue
61 and I'm assuming multilib might be at play somehow.
62
63 And besides, I've been subscribed to this list for a while :-)
64
65 Point me elsewhere if I'm on another track.
66
67 Thanks,
