I've seen this -- I have $PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/tmp, and after installing the |
13 |
binary package, which I'd previously created, the message says to run the |
14 |
script /tmp/portage-pkg/perl-<ver>/inf/perl-cleaner, which of course |
15 |
doesn't exist, at least a few seconds after that message is displayed, |
16 |
because that dir has been cleaned by then. Further, looking at the binary |
17 |
package to see where /it/ put it I couldn't find any file by that name in |
18 |
the binary package either???, and the script didn't seem to be on my path, |
19 |
so I decided running it couldn't be that important after all, or there'd |
20 |
actually be a way to do so, and it would exist in the binary package to be |
21 |
reextracted, if necessary. |
22 |
|
23 |
Perhaps luckily, I don't have many perl packages installed, and I haven't |
24 |
run into any problems with ebuilds failing due to it, so I'm not too |
25 |
worried. |
