Please run the attached equery and reply back with the output

[Comment 2 Vincent Reher 2006-05-30 06:05:44 UTC]

As requested, here is the output of the debug version of equery:

# ./my-equery.py -c which pmidi

[<gentoolkit.package.Package instance at 0xb7365aac>]
media-sound/pmidi-1.6.0
None

[Comment 3 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2006-06-05 12:36:26 UTC]

Thanks, the traceback is caused by the fact that an ebuild no longer exists for the installed package. I will work on getting this fixed in the 0.2.3 release of gentoolkit.

[Comment 4 Vincent Reher 2006-06-11 08:19:06 UTC]

(In reply to comment #3)
Very good.  FWIW: if the code is literally looking for the ebuild file itself, it still exists in /var/db/pkg/...

[Comment 5 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2007-03-09 04:22:59 UTC]

I was unable to get this included in gentoolkit-0.2.3. I will work on it for gentoolkit-0.2.4
