Description Chris Dukes 2013-04-29 22:40:02 UTC 
I found that when installing a pkgng package of net/py-ldap2 was installing an appropriate _ldap.so, but the post-install was then failing as easy_install does with the default setup.cfg for python-ldap.

This has further repercussions on any packaged python port that has a USE_PYDISTUTILS=easy_install that even if it's right, the install installs the files, then retrieves them via easy_install and installs them again.

Fix: 

Disable addition of @exec to plist
How-To-Repeat: (Assuming pkgng is already installed)
echo WITH_PKGNG=yes >> /etc/make.conf
mkdir /tmp/foo
cd /usr/ports/net/py-ldap2
make install
pkg create -o /tmp/foo net/py-ldap2
make deinstall
pkg add /tmp/foo/py27-ldap*.txz

bsd.python.mk is freebsd-python territory (via the GNATS Auto Assign 
Tool)
Comment 2 Chris Dukes 2013-04-30 02:15:33 UTC 
And a patch that seems to fix the issue for pkgng.

For the old style packaging, it could probably stand to have the bit to 
generate the @exec in the plist removed as well.
Comment 3 Chris Dukes 2013-05-01 02:04:23 UTC 
And the patch I submitted, while fixing py-ldap2, breaks other packages.

To properly handle pkg and pkgng packages of python modules will require 
the development and use of a tool similar to dh_python[23] from Debian.

But the first step to doing that will involve patching the python builds 
to differentiate between a site-packages (For things installed outside 
pkg and pkgng) and something like dist-packages (For things managed by 
pkg and pkgng).

Hi,

I don't know if that fixes the problem reported or not, but what is sure is
that the patched proposed is wrong :)

and this patch is a "cleaner" version to do with pkgng what
bsd.python.mktries to do with the pointed target. As I don't know how
easy_install
works, I can't say if that also fixes the problem spotted by the reported.

I am unable to reproduce that issue with an up-to-date ports tree and 
pkg (1.2.1). Does that issue still occur for you? If so, could you 
please provide the steps to reproduce along with the output? Thanks!

Closed due to missing feedback. If the issue still exists for you, please reopen this bug.
