Bug 164532 – emerge-webrsync requires >=coreutils-6.4 for date command

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Portage Development

[Description edjunior 2007-01-30 11:57:10 UTC]

When I executed emerge-webrsync, it returns a error with 'date' command and can't find a correct file to download (it looks for 'portage-.tar.bz2.md5sum', for example).

Reproducible: Always




I guess I found the piece of code modified on rev. 5154 (http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/portage/main/trunk/bin/emerge-webrsync?rev=5154&view=diff&r1=5154&r2=5153&p1=main/trunk/bin/emerge-webrsync&p2=/main/trunk/bin/emerge-webrsync)

[Comment 1 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2007-01-30 12:40:53 UTC]

So, what's the error you get? Also, please always provide your emerge --info.

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2007-01-30 21:48:37 UTC]

I see how that revision would be a problem if the portage tree is empty and hence USERLAND is unknown.

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2007-01-30 22:50:38 UTC]

Created attachment 108691 [details, diff]
test success of the -r option to distinguish between gnu and bsd date

This is fixed in svn r5840.

Actually, portage initializes USERLAND even without the portage tree, so I'm not sure what may have caused that error.  Are you able to reproduce it.  If so, what is the exact error?

Waiting for more info...

What version of coreutils do you have installed?  With sys-apps/coreutils-6.7-r1 I can run `date -d @1170154366` and it works properly.  Maybe that's not supported by older versions?

Hmmm...the problem may be this one. My coreutils version is 5.2.1-r6.

$ date --version
date (coreutils) 5.2.1
Written by David MacKenzie.

Let me try to upgrade my coreutils.

[Comment 9 edjunior 2007-01-31 12:02:33 UTC]

That's it! I've upgraded coreutils to version 6.4 and then emerge-webrsync works fine.

# date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 6.4

Thanks!

[Comment 10 Zac Medico 2007-01-31 17:14:27 UTC]

I'll adjust the deps in the ebuild.

[Comment 11 Zac Medico 2007-01-31 17:55:14 UTC]

The dep is fixed.

[Comment 12 Zac Medico 2007-02-01 08:13:56 UTC]

Unfortunately I had to make the dep conditional on !selinux in order to avoid breaking their deptree due to bug #144509.  Hopefully they'll fix that soon (otherwise they won't be able to use emerge-webrsync with portage-2.1.2).

[Comment 13 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-17 20:55:32 UTC]

Useless bug, 6.9-r1 is the oldest version in the tree. Closing.
