OpenRC 0.2.4 - critical wrong pointed symlinks

[zuriel]

All the symlinks in /lib64/rc/bin/ point to "/var/tmp/paludis/sys-apps-openrc-0.2.3/imagesbin/rc" which is clearly very wrong and rendered my system useless... fortunately a quick "for i in /lib64/rc/bin/*; do ln -sf /sbin/rc $i; done" solves the system but before i had to hunt down this problem and do a "mount -o rw,remount /" because not running device-mapper init script and others really leaves you with a very limited workstation. So eeh, concluded this might be a bug in paludis as portage installs openrc just find, can't find anything in the ebuild.. cheers.

It's an ebuild bug. Both Paludis and Portage will sometimes correct certain screwups of this kind, but even when that happens it's still a broken ebuild.

Well, it certainly rewrote the symlinks here. For instance:

paludis@1209972537: [QA merger.rewriting_symlink] In program paludis -i openrc:
  ... When performing install action from command line:

>^> [sym] /lib64/rc/bin/einfon

And that for almost everything openrc installs. Can you provide a complete build log to see why paludis didn't do that for you?

This is still an ebuild bug though.

how do i do a complete build log? and it may be an ebuild bug or not, i won't even try filing this on bugs.gentoo.org ('paludis unsupported go away') and dont have time looking into the ebuild.. just right now it happened again and i am lucky i just noticed by accident shortly before rebooting. just waiting for this slooow python script to *START* merging it in *g anyways, this is really a bad one. zillions of gentoo system have already been rendered unbootable by this for sure!!

paludis -i openrc > build-log 2>&1

build log of paludis -i openrc >openrc.log 2>&1

Replying to ferdy:

paludis -i openrc > build-log 2>&1

I attached my build-log.

For me the /lib/rc/sbin/ symlinks are also wrong.
