Details

Description:
Some packages like nautilus-actions and nautilus-open-terminal look for 'gconfpkg' in '/usr/sbin/gconfpkg' during install and are unable to find it as it exists in '/usr/bin/gconfpkg'. The problem could simply be avoided by adding a symlink from '/usr/bin/gconfpkg' '/usr/sbin/gconfpkg'

Additional info:

* package version(s)
gconf 3.2.6-3
nautilus-actions 3.2.4-1
nautilus-open-terminal-0.20-2


* config and/or log files etc.

Installation Log :

( 6/11) installing nautilus-open-terminal [########################################################] 100%
/tmp/alpm_IvYWNg/.INSTALL: line 4: usr/sbin/gconfpkg: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

( 8/11) installing nautilus-actions [########################################################] 100%
/tmp/alpm_KzyAa2/.INSTALL: line 4: usr/sbin/gconfpkg: No such file or directory


Steps to reproduce:

Install nautilus-actions and nautilus-open-terminal
sudo pacman -S nautilus-actions nautilus-open-terminal


Possible Solution:
Make a symlink from '/usr/bin/gconfpkg' '/usr/sbin/gconfpkg'

ln -s /usr/bin/gconfpkg /usr/sbin/gconfpkg

The filesystem package already contains a /usr/sbin symlink that points to the bin directory.

This was implemented two years ago so there's something wrong with your installation. [1]

Thanks for clarification. Reinstalling filesystem after removing /usr/sbin seems to resolve this. Marking it for closure.
