Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-11-03 05:57:15 UTC

Tried to emerge a new ebuild from my overlay via "emerge =krusader-1.60.1",
which resulted in

Calculating dependencies -!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//sec-policy
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//x11-plugins
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//sys-kernel
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//dev-cpp

[ ... ]

!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//games-fps
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//games-mud
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//games-rpg
visible(): invalid cat/pkg-v: /skel

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "k".
(dependency required by "kde-misc/krusader-1.60.1" [ebuild])


With the few lines added to poratge.py as Jason proposed in Bug 107003 bug, the
output is the following:


emerge =krusader-1.60.1
Calculating dependencies -caller: cp_list('/')


!!! Problem in =kde-misc/krusader-1.60.1 dependencies.
!!!  exceptions


so it's my stupid fault, since I added 

RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
	kde? ( || kde-base/konqueror >=kde-base/kdebase-3.3 )"

missing obviously some some parentheses. Is it possible to get such a reasonable
output without patching, instead this weird error message, please!?
