[et-mgmt-tools] virt-manager 0.6.0 problem in install script for omf.make ?

[Emre Erenoglu]

Hi,

I was trying to install virt-manager for my distro (Pardus 2008). However, I
faced a strange issue, possibly a bug, maybe in virt-manager, maybe in
Pardus itself:

*Introduction:*
Pardus 2008's scrollkeeper keeps the state data in the following
directories:

emre at voyager virt-manager-0.6.0 $ scrollkeeper-config --localstatedir
/var
emre at voyager virt-manager-0.6.0 $ scrollkeeper-config --pkglocalstatedir
/var/scrollkeeper

However, when the build is completed and install script starts, the turn
comes to the following section in omf.make file:

install-data-hook-omf:
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(omf_dest_dir)
        for file in $(omffile); do \
                $(INSTALL_DATA) $$file.out $(DESTDIR)$(omf_dest_dir)/$$file;
\
        done
        -scrollkeeper-update -p $(scrollkeeper_localstate_dir) -o
$(DESTDIR)$(omf_dest_dir)

This scrollkeeper-update command segfaults at this stage. I found that the
command issued during the package build/install is:

scrollkeeper-update -p /var/lib/scrollkeeper -o
/var/pisi/virt-manager-0.6.0-1/install/usr/share/omf/virt-manager

This shows that the statedir is /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of the
/var/scrollkeeper.

Do you have an idea why this can happen?

Note: It also segfaults when I do an install to /usr/local (Default), giving
another segfault with this command:
scrollkeeper-update -p /usr/local/var/scrollkeeper -o
/usr/local/share/omf/virt-manager
