Description Paul Belt 2003-03-17 17:52:24 UTC
for PACKAGE in sys-devel/perl sys-apps/iptables; do
   find /var/db/pkg -name 'RDEPEND' | xargs grep $PACKAGE | sed -e 's/^\/var\/db\/pkg\///' -e 's/\/RDEPEND.*//'
done

Isn't perl now dev-lang/perl not sys-devel perl?
In fact, isn't sys-apps/iptables now net-firewall/iptables?

How many others can we find and log in this bug?

nick, does the move file not adjust the entries in /var/db/pkg?
Comment 2 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-19 07:21:46 UTC
Not quite this way...
It's a bug, and a non-trivial one at that.

This will break reverse deps. :-/

Fixed for >=portage-2.0.48_pre3
