Quodlibet 1.999

Hiya.

So, I'm trying to build Quodlibet 1.999, and it all goes well until this install_shortcuts routine from setup.py demands write access to /usr.

[...]
creating /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/bin
copying build/scripts-2.5/quodlibet -> /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/bin
copying build/scripts-2.5/exfalso -> /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/bin
changing mode of /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/bin/quodlibet to 755
changing mode of /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/bin/exfalso to 755
running install_egg_info
Writing /var/abs/local/quodlibet-beta/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/quodlibet-1.999-py2.5.egg-info
running install_shortcuts
copying build/share/applications/quodlibet.desktop -> /usr/share/applications
error: /usr/share/applications/quodlibet.desktop: Permission denied
==> ERROR: Build Failed.

Any ideas what could be done to fix this?

Also, here's the PKGBUILD

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./setup.py build
  ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr --root=$startdir/pkg
}

Thanks.

Re: Quodlibet 1.999

It tries to copy the quodlibet.desktop file to /usr/share/applications/quodlibet.desktop but fails due to the fact that the owner of that folder is root.
I guess it issues that command before the package have been built and installed.

Take a look at the file setup.py and se if you can remove that line, and then manually copy quodlibet.desktop
