The solution to that bug is probably to use /lib*/.. instead of /lib/... as the path you use ? > On a gentoo 64 bit system, /lib is a symbolic link to /lib64, and this > causes breakage in openrc.

Should we? /usr/libexec is not for platform-agnostic code, it is for platform dependant executables that are not meant to be executed directly by the user. /usr/lib/X/Y and /usr/libexec/Y should be exactly the same. You may want to put all the executables in /usr/libexec anyway, as having separate / and /usr is a outdated idea anyway, and most of the other distros will make that completely impossible very soon. Be bold. Fedora is even going to make /lib, /bin and /sbin symlinks to /usr. My 2 cents (as the guy who made the /lib->/lib64 link in the first place). -- Olivier Crête tes...@gentoo.org Gentoo Developer
