xmule 1.6.1 install error

[eunuque]

Hi all,

I just tried to update xmule from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1
It compiles but I have an error while installing:

--------------------------------------
Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmule-1.6.1/work/xmule-1.6.1/po'
/bin/sh `case ".././mkinstalldirs" in /*) echo ".././mkinstalldirs" ;; *) echo "../.././mkinstalldirs" ;; esac` /var/tmp/portage/xmule-1.6.1/image//usr/share

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

!!! ERROR: net-p2p/xmule-1.6.1 failed.
!!! Function einstall, Line 347, Exitcode 2
!!! einstall failed
--------------------------------------

The Makefile in /var/tmp/portage/xmule-1.6.1/work/xmule-1.6.1/po
checks one level too high to find mkinstalldirs.

I can always try to install it by hand (i.e. not using the ebuild) but
it would be nicer to get the ebuild work...
Or may be it is a well know issue?

Any hints?

Another interesting thing is that the "manual" install worked perfectly with the source from /usr/portage/distfiles ...

I had the same problem...
I modified my ebuild (/usr/portage/net-p2p/xmule/xmule-1.6.1.ebuild)

and created a patch (very dirty, i know... ) (/usr/portage/net-p2p/xmule/files/xmule-1.6.1-mkinstalldir.patch)
