Hi,
I'm trying to package gnuplot and it almost works :)
The package builts and installs fine but then I can't uninstall it.
The problem is that when gnuplot compiles it creates a
directory %build/usr/lib/X11/ and puts some files there.
pkgtool will then create an antry for a directory /usr/lib/X11
But /usr/lib/X11 is a symlink by default (it comes from
SUNWxorg-compatlinks). Now when I try to uninstall gnuplot pkg fails
because it can't remove the directory (as it tries .rmdir() which fails
with ERRNO 20 (not a directory).
mi...@opensolaris:~/packages$ pkg contents -m gnuplot | grep "usr/lib/X11"
dir group=root mode=755 owner=root path=usr/lib/X11
dir group=root mode=755 owner=root path=usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
file 9d73610720628874646dbe7b2e8a4c05934696bb
chash=08e3cbf4700db22e335993f254700ddf773229fc group=root mode=755
owner=root path=usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Gnuplot pkg.csize=931
pkg.size=2639
mi...@opensolaris:~/packages$
mi...@opensolaris:~/packages$ pkg search -l /usr/lib/X11
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
path link usr/lib/X11
pkg:/[email protected]
path dir usr/lib/X11 pkg:/[email protected]
mi...@opensolaris:~/packages$
It installed without any warnings but won't uninstall now.
See http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9014 for more details
on the failure.
I could mv %build/usr/lib/X11 to %build/usr/X11 in the install section of
spec files and update %files accordingly but it doesn't seem right. pkg
should be able to handle it properly.
