To those of you who have amarok and
kipi-plugins installed. I want to know whether this problem
is a build problem or a downstream packaging problem.
Please check the HTML links for the non-English
directories. For example,
/usr/share/doc/HTML/pl/amarok
There will be a sym link to common. Is the link good or
broken?
On my system the link points to:
/usr/share/doc/HTML/pl/common
I believe the link should point to:
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/amarok/common.
The problem is in the make files and is a remnant from KDE. In KDE I long ago noticed this
problem with several apps: amarok, kipi-plugins, k3b, kpowersave, and kmplayer.
I created a diff patch to the make files. I don't pretend to understand automake, but
after I apply the patch all is well until the build script runs make to build the files.
Something in the make process overwrites the patches or restores the original make files.
I never have seen that before.
Any ideas why the patch won't hold when running make?
At this point the only solution I have is to apply a post-make patch.
If anybody is interested I'm attaching the patch to the make files.
I'll watch other apps as I create Trinity build scripts.
Definitely a paper cut bug.
