            Bug ID: 363613
           Summary: emerge --package does not remove hard links to build
                    path from executables
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: installer
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
          Reporter: mutlaqja at ikarustech.com

My KDEROOT is D:\k and under it I ran emerge --package kstars, It created an
installer which I then installed on a fresh Win10 VM. The application runs but
when I tried using "Get Hot New Stuff" AKA KNewStuff, it "failed to load
providers". Since this feature requires that kdeinit5.exe is invoked which then
executes dbus-daemon.exe and klauncher.exe for this to work, it only started
dbus-daemon.exe

But it seems all executable files already point to the build location in the
primary machine (i.e. D:\k). When I launched klauncher.exe manually, I got this
message inside the fresh VM:

"path of the process "dbus-daemon" seems to be outside of the installPath:
"C:/Program Files/KStars Desktop Planetarium/bin" "D:/k"
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
Application may misbehave.

Furthermore, I started dbus-monitor.exe and got this:

signal time=1464388944.096486 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.5
serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.5"
signal time=1464388944.111972 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> destination=:1.5
serial=4 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameLost
   string ":1.5"
method call time=1464388955.643587 sender=:1.0 ->
destination=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=22 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus;
interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameHasOwner
   string "org.kde.klauncher5"
method return time=1464388955.658837 sender=org.freedesktop.DBus ->
destination=:1.0 serial=11 reply_serial=22
   boolean true
method call time=1464388955.658837 sender=:1.0 ->
destination=org.kde.klauncher5 serial=23 path=/KLauncher;
interface=org.kde.KSlaveLauncher; member=requestSlave
   string "http"
   string "edu.kde.org"
   string "tcp://127.0.0.1:50230"
method return time=1464388955.688128 sender=:1.2 -> destination=:1.0 serial=9
reply_serial=23
   int32 0
   string "Error loading 'D:/k/bin/kioslave'.

So it is clear that the emerge --package does not create an independent package
from the build location at this point which is leading to these errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use emerge --package to create a package
2. Install on a fresh VM
3. Use any feature that requires klauncher, dbus, or kinit like KNewStuff


Actual Results:  
KNewStuff fails "failed to load providers"

Expected Results:  
KNewStuff works along with dbus calls..etc
