>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: medium
>Category: ports
>Class: sw-bug
>Release: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD Elmer.timing.com 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan 2 03:24:03 MST 2002 root@Bugs.timing.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/LOCAL_MP i386
>Description:
If you build a package for math/octave, then try to install
the package to a non-default location using pkg_add -p (as
you might if you were building a system under a different
mount point, like a chroot), the lib/octave sym link will
point to the wrong place.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd math/octave
make package
pkg_add -r /some/chroot octave-2.1.50.tgz
ls -l /some/chroot/usr/local/lib/octave
Observe that it points to /some/chroot/usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.50
which fails when in the chroot.
>Fix:
Don't sym link to an absolute path name; then it works in all cases.
Here's the patch...
