Bug 11767 – fails when run on a non-initialized system?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Torgeir Hansen 2002-12-08 07:32:18 UTC]

in portage.py, do_vartree(), it reads
        if virts:
                myvkeys=virts.keys()
                for x in myvkeys:
                        vkeysplit=x.split("/")
                        if not virts_p.has_key(vkeysplit[1]):
                                virts_p[vkeysplit[1]]=virts[x]
        del x

note the missing indent of 'del x', for me this renders this error message when
trying a emerge sync:

----
indy:~# emerge sync
>>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably fix
this.

What stage file are you using?
Where did you get it?
What version of portage? 'emerge info'

This occured while attempting to get portage working on a debian system while
trying to start up a mips-port of gentoo,hence the 'minor' severity - no less a
bug :)

it exists in 2.0.44 and above at least, probably more versions too :)

x is not defined if "if virts:" doesen't happen (no virts?, not that I have a
clue wtf. this func actually does)

just add a tab and it'll be fine!

latest portage.py has this: 
        if virts: 
                myvkeys=virts.keys() 
                for x in myvkeys: 
                        vkeysplit=x.split("/") 
                        if not virts_p.has_key(vkeysplit[1]): 
                                virts_p[vkeysplit[1]]=virts[x] 
        try: 
                del x
