Description:   Opened: 2002-09-02 07:20 0000 
"emerge vnc" fails due to error, as reported in 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=12642&highlight=vncviewer+man. workaround 
also in that page is to touch the file during build process. 

Don't know if the build is wrong or 
the file is missing from the package.

I have put an -r3 ebuild into portage, which should sort out this issue,
amongst
others.  Please test and report.

ooh, also, if you could pass the word on to the users on the forums who are
concerned with this to test, that would be fantastic.

Alistair?

I cannot test this bug! 

# cd /usr/portage/net-misc/vnc
# emerge vnc-3.3.3-
r3.ebuild
Calculating dependencies \!!! doebuild: /usr/portage/net-misc/vnc/vnc-3.3.3-
r3.ebuild not found.
portage: aux_get(): (1) couldn't open cache entry for net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-
r3
(likely caused by syntax error or corruption in the net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-r3 ebuild.)
emerge: 
create(): aux_get() error on net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-r3; aborting...

Please assist.

rm /var/cache/edb/dep/*
cd /usr/portage/net-misc/vnc
emerge vnc-3.3.3-r3.ebuild

------- Comment #6 From Alistair McDonald 2002-09-09 08:56:25 0000 ------- 
Still no joy.

I believe that I have a fairly standard setup here, I have never played with any 
flags or anything, only ever emerged software.

(note I changed your instructions to rm -r as a 
lot of subdirs remained)

altair root # rm -r /var/cache/edb/dep/*
altair root # cd 
/usr/portage/net-misc/vnc
altair vnc # emerge vnc-3.3.3-r3.ebuild
Calculating 
dependencies \!!! doebuild: /usr/portage/net-misc/vnc/vnc-3.3.3-r3.ebuild not 
found.
portage: aux_get(): (1) couldn't open cache entry for net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-r3
(likely 
caused by syntax error or corruption in the net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-r3 ebuild.)
emerge: create(): 
aux_get() error on net-misc/vnc-3.3.3-r3; aborting...

<grabbing straws in dark>
The error 
has always been a syntax error or corruption, are you using a newer version of the appropriate 
utility or something?

------- Comment #7 From Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-09-14 01:11:27 0000 ------- 
you did emerge rsync right?

------- Comment #8 From Alistair McDonald 2002-09-16 02:18:16 0000 ------- 
Well, all I can say is that I have much to learn! 

This bug appears to be fixed. Thanks.
