Bug 47328 – kde dependency 'myportage' not defined

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Julien De Groote 2004-04-09 04:59:15 UTC]

I have just installed the kernel and bootloader and I have rebooted.
When I try emerge kde, I get a 'Global name 'myportage' is not defined' error
and prevents me from installing kde. 
I could install xfree86 though.
I does the same with gnome but since i am new to gentoo and the portage system, I have no idea where to look to workaround that problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. "emerge kde" or "emerge gnome"




mordor root # emerge --pretend gnome

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

if I try a "emerge --pretend kdebase"
emerge seems to work but "USE='java' emerge --pretend kdebase" does not

Can you post the error?  It's not a kde bug, it's a portage bug.

wrong bug

Julien, I did grep 'myportage' in whole portage source dir. But I couldn't find it. I don't understand what happens in your box.
We need more information.

Can you do this command and post the error.log file here as attachment?(-d is debug option)
# emerge -d --pretend gnome > /tmp/error.log 2>&1

I finally found what that bug was all about. i ran into bug 47063 during installation process and as I explained there, I had to work around the problem by editing the file /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py addind another if-condition on 2 lines around line 3038. 
I mistyped one one of the 2 lines (i put 'myportage' instead of 'myportapi').
Sorry my mistake ...
