Bug 116592 – eix complains about "garbage at the end of version string"

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) 2005-12-24 03:45:56 UTC]

Hi,

this is really a minor issue, but anyway :
since eix-3 (iirc) and still with eix-5, whenever I use it, it begins by complaining in stderr :

Garbage at end of version string: *
Garbage at end of version string: *
Garbage at end of version string: *
Garbage at end of version string: *


Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks

Could you please check your /etc/portage/package.* for lines with *?
grep '\*' /etc/portage/package.*

What profile are you using? You didn't post the usual "emerge --info" :)

Thanks for the tip, it came from lines in /etc/portage/package.unmask that were saying "app/foo -*".

There was no bug to fix, please change the resolution from FIXED to INVALID.
