• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Mirrors

[Description Andy Romeril 2006-06-27 17:20:18 UTC]

When I try to emerge nvidia-settings, I get the message:

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20060516 to /
>>> checking ebuild checksums ;-)
>>> checking auxfile checksums
!!! A file listed in the Manifest could not be found: '/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/files/libXNVCtrl.a'

This affects AMD64 as well.

[Comment 2 Waldo 2006-06-27 20:53:52 UTC]

I have it too.  See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-448463.html for further discussion/confirmation.

I think that who ever did the digest on the file accidently put libXNVCtrl.a into /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/files/. Redigesting the ebuild fixes it.

[Comment 4 jovie1024 2006-06-27 21:42:52 UTC]

Thanks, digesting it fixed it on my system as well.  Hopefully the issue will be quickly corrected though.

No missing file here; emerge --sync again.

*** Bug 138320 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-06-28 02:34:33 UTC]

Hmmm, seems to be missing on mirrors... huh.

[Comment 8 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2006-06-28 09:25:52 UTC]

Should it even be directly in portage tree, being binary file?

[Comment 9 Kenneth Perry 2006-06-28 17:49:05 UTC]

Since redigesting works, im guessing it was never needed and doesnt need to be on mirrors.

[Comment 10 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2006-06-28 20:20:18 UTC]

what is the .a file doing in the tree anyway? Shouldn't it be on distfiles-local? Anyways, can't we just stable a newer version of nvidia-settings that doesnt use it?

[Comment 11 Jesse Adelman 2006-06-29 15:52:35 UTC]

Still getting the same error here.

[Comment 12 Neil Skrypuch 2006-06-29 20:15:28 UTC]

I'm also seeing this issue. Portage was synced less than an hour ago.

[Comment 13 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2006-06-29 20:34:50 UTC]

alright, I've moved the .a file to my devspace...
