Bug ID: 491462
Summary: kfilemetadata-6.4.0 external plugin path
LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR broken
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kfilemetadata
Version: 6.4.0
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: pinak.ah...@gmail.com
Reporter: gabemarc...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
kffilemetadata is looking for external plugins at the path:
/usr//usr/libexec/kfilemetadata/externalextractors
which is clearly wrong. In the source code, this path is defined in
src/config-kfilemetadata.h.in:
#define LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR_KF}"
Unless there's something weird Gentoo is doing, `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is
resolving to `/usr/` and `KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR_KF` is resolving to
`/usr/libexec/kf6`. The net effect is that `LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR` is being
assigned `/usr//usr/libexec/kf6`.
This used to work with kf5, but something must have changed when transitioning
to kf6.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an external extractor and store it in
/usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors
2. In dolphin, open the properties of a file relevant to the externalextractor
and view details
or
1. strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec
OBSERVED RESULT
No metadata is shown.
and
$ strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec
/usr//usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors
/usr//usr/libexec/kf6
EXPECTED RESULT
Metadata is shown.
and
$ strings -e l /usr/lib64/libKF6FileMetaData.so.6.4.0 | grep libexec
/usr/libexec/kf6/kfilemetadata/externalextractors
/usr/libexec/kf6
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Gentoo Linux 2.15
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've patched my local build of kfilemetadata by simply removing
`{CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/` from the `LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR` definition, and that
fixes the issue for me.
