[gentoo-user] Completed installing ... into /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0

[Steven Lembark]

First time I've ever seen a package install into PORTAGE_TMPDIR...

Q: What am I missing?

The rest of last nights "emerge --update" went into places like
/usr/bin... where you'd expect. After the upgrade I noticed that
virt-manager wasn't there. Tried emerging it alone to see what
had happened.

# emerge ... app-emulation/virt-manager;
<time passes>

# which virt-manager;
which: no virt-manager in
(/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin)
<seems odd>

Do you have the gtk USE-flag on app-emulation/virt-manager? Does
`qlist app-emulation/virt-manager` show installed files?

That is normal. it is installed into ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR} and then merged
into ${EROOT}/ to make it less likely that the filesystem is getting
messed up.

Kind regards, tastytea

No, but the previous version was working without it.

The other packages on the system get installed in the root after
being collected in the temp dir. I cannot find this package

into /tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/image

qlist shows some files in /usr/share, look left over from the
previous install. The only remaining executables are:

/usr/bin/virt-xml
/usr/bin/virt-install
/usr/bin/virt-clone

notice the lack of virt-manager.

Full qlist output:

I don't know if it changed recently, but the current ebuild removes
"${ED}/usr/bin/virt-manager" (in pkg_preinst()) if the gtk USE-flag is
not enabled.

Double-checking the module, I don't see it using gtk:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-emulation/virt-manager

USE flags
Local Use Flags

policykit
sasl

Global Use Flags

gui
test

python_single_target (Use Expand)

python3_9
python3_10
python3_11

stable (on amd64) uses “gtk”[1], testing uses “gui”[2].

Upgraded to 4.1 & added "gui", got it installed.

Thank you
