Description Pascal Labit 2002-12-04 19:19:43 UTC
When doing a emerge -u -p world, I got the answer saying that there was no
ebuild that could satisfy gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.0.6 (a dependency inherited
from gnome 2.0.3).

I checked in the portage tree and libgnomeui-2.0.6-r1 not only was not masked,
but also contained the keyword "x86" (I don t accept keyword ~x86). What is
strange is that, in the libgnomeui-2.0.6-r1, I added a space char between " and
x86 in the KEYWORDS section. It worked ! More strange is that to be complete I
edited back the ebuild and deleted the space I just added... I still worked, no
more complaints about failed dependencies for libgnomeui-2.0.6.

Same problem with Orbi2-2.4.4, nautilus-2.0.8,... and always the same solution:
opening the file with nano and then editing it then back (just to have nano save
it).

Could it be a problem with some locale ? I had a working 1.2 gentoo that I up'ed
to 1.4rc1 some 2 months ago I think. But everything worked fine till last sunday
(01/12).

Output from emerge info 

Did emerge info redirected into this file 'emerge info > emerge_info'.
Comment 3 Pascal Labit 2002-12-05 06:37:54 UTC
Wanted to check that also : a simple 'touch' on the ebuild works also...

Could it be locale/codepage problem ?I don t change anything in the ebuild, just
'touch' and they work...
Comment 4 Pascal Labit 2002-12-05 06:45:55 UTC
Strangest : if I do an emerge rsync (then wiping out all the ebuilds I
'touch'ed), portage complains about the same file than before doing emerge
rsync. Then it has nothing to do with the ebuilds : I ll try to wipe out
/var/tmp/portgae to see if it was somehow corrupted.
Comment 5 Pascal Labit 2002-12-06 19:13:18 UTC
Bug disappeared with portage 2.0.45-r1. Should we close the bug report ?
