I think it is easiest to show what is happening instead of trying to explain it:

therion aaron # revdep-rebuild
Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild
stat: kann Dateisysteminformation für %m nicht lesen: Datei oder Verzeichnis
nicht gefunden
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 273: [: too many arguments

stat: kann Dateisysteminformation für %m nicht lesen: Datei oder Verzeichnis

/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild: line 273: [: too many arguments

versions involved:
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre6
sys-apps/coreutils-5.3.0-r1

I don't have a clue why this is happening, but I am sure I haven't had that
problem in the past.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
revdep-rebuild throwing some strange error messages

Expected Results:  
revdep-rebuild being quite quiet and just doing it's job

steps to reproduce:
revdep-rebuild and ctrl-c out of it after a few steps have been done
revdep-rebuild again

so it seems as 'stat'ing it's own progess files is causing the trouble

[Comment 3 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2005-09-09 12:15:34 UTC]

Would someone from the BSD team verify that the following find command is valid
on g/BSD

LIST=~/.revdep-rebuild
find "${LIST%/*}/." ! -name . -prune -name "${LIST##*/}*" -mtime +0

This is to replace the stat call in revdep-rebuild entirely. See bug# #102255

Created attachment 68057 [details, diff]
Patch to fix stat call

Attached is a patch that will fix the issue.  It is only guaranteed to work on
Linux.	I am working on a permanent, portable fix.

[Comment 5 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2005-09-09 13:36:10 UTC]

Fix is in subversion

[Comment 6 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2005-09-12 07:58:10 UTC]

gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre7 has been released
