[SOLVED] Package mpe2 installs binaries outside /usr/bin

The AUR package mpe2 tries to install binaries into /usr/sbin which causes installation to fail. If I tweak the PKGBUILD to move those binaries to /usr/bin I get errors later in the build process because something expected there to be files in ${pkgdir}/usr/sbin. I don't really know what I'm doing here.

Could someone take a look at the BUILDPKG for mpe2 and tell me how to patch it?

Re: [SOLVED] Package mpe2 installs binaries outside /usr/bin

Always useful to know how you tweaked it and how it failed exactly.

I think you could put

ln -s bin "$pkgdir/usr/sbin"

at the start of the package() function and then

rm "$pkgdir/usr/sbin"

at the end.

You can try to set --sbindir=/usr/bin in the configure line.

Re: [SOLVED] Package mpe2 installs binaries outside /usr/bin

Shuffling files inside the package() function was confused autotools.

--sbindir=/usr/bin worked.
