Just did an emerge --sync against crane.gentoo.org. Seems to have pulled mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1 down in the process. I do not have mediawiki installed. Anyway tail end of sync process, when portage updates it's cache, results in: >>> Updating Portage cache: 88%QA Notice: best_version() in global scope: www-apps/mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1 * * Using * * Checking for required PHP feature(s): QA Notice: best_version() in global scope: www-apps/mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1 * Discovered missing USE flag pcre * * needs to be re-installed with all of the following * USE flags enabled: * * pcre * !!!

(--debug) Failed cache update: www-apps/mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1 100% Don't know what the heck this all means, but I do have 'pcre' in my /etc/make.conf USE flags. I'm bumping the severity to 'major' because I do not know what the impact to the portage cache is as a result of this failure, and if it has any impact at all I would think that's a really important thing to fix... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. view output of portage cache update. 3. Actual Results: Portage seems ok, but I'm not totally sure. emerge --pretend --update --deep world reports no results, but I did update completely two days ago and possibly I have no updates to apply, but I'm not sure. Expected Results: Allow whatever the 'portage cache update' process is supposed to do without erroring out. cornholio ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.13-firewall i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-firewall i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam /var/spool/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles/" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/ http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.binarycompass.org ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts atm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdr crypt cups curl eds emboss encode exif fam foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gif gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib java jikes jpeg kde kerberos libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mime mmap mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl php pic png posix python qt quicktime readline samba sasl sdl shared sharedmem slang snmp sockets spell sse ssl svga sysvipc tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis xml xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
same on amd64 stable. pcre is not an accepted use flag in dev-php/php and dev-lang/php is hard masked on my arch. Maybe an erroneous } in the ebuild?
(In reply to comment #1) > same on amd64 stable. pcre is not an accepted use flag in dev-php/php and > dev-lang/php is hard masked on my arch. Maybe an erroneous } in the ebuild? The checks in global scope have been fixed, sorry for that. Emerge sync in an hour or two. The ebuild still won't install, needs more fixing. Noting that this ebuild is not compatible w/ dev-php/mod_php. @trapni: I removed the things in src_compile() for a reason - they don't exist in the tarball (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=68531). This also should not be keyworded ~amd64 until dev-lang/php is keyworded ~amd64, it depends on it.
I keyworded dev-lang/php to ~amd64 already, I'm most probably very sure about, although, I hardmasked mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1 for testing and work-in-progress reasons, though, I'm wondering why this comes anyway.... lets see...
BrBones had fixed the global-scope problem already (while I have been at work). patch from attachement 68531 has been partially adapted already (I actually applied the missing parts). Although, I checked the dev-lang/php keywords for amd64 now, and indeed, I marked it ~amd64 already, but for dev-lang/php-4.4.0 only, though, missing 3.x and 5.x; I'll do that within some minutes, too.
finally everything done....
