For example in kdebase-meta-3.5.7 is line: Code: $(deprange 3.5.6 $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kcheckpass) Autounmask wants to unmask kcheckpass-3.5.7, but this version does not exist in portage, so it end (but without any warning!). But version 3.5.6 is in portage, so version 3.5.6 should be unmasked because it is valid version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. autounmask --pretend kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.7 Actual Results: * Using repositories: /usr/portage /usr/portage/local/portage * Using package.keywords file: /etc/portage/package.keywords * Using package.unmask file: /etc/portage/package.unmask * Unmasking kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 and its dependencies.. this might take a while.. * Added '=kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdenetwork-meta-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/krdc-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kopete-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kwifimanager-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/ktalkd-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdenetwork-filesharing-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdict-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/dcoprss-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * done! Expected Results: Unmask all related package, so emerge kde-meta will install kde-3.5.7
Fix in description: Ofcourse run "autounmask kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.7" (without --pretend)
Actually this look more like a portage bug to me. (autounmask uses portage to determine which packages to unmask.) ea ~ (0) # autounmask kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 autounmask version 0.21 (using PortageXS-0.02.07 and portage-2.1.2.9) * Using repositories: /usr/portage /home/ian/my_development/gentoo/gentoo-x86 * Using package.keywords file: /etc/portage/package.keywords * Using package.unmask file: /etc/portage/package.unmask * Unmasking kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 and its dependencies.. this might take a while.. * Added '=kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdenetwork-meta-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/krdc-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kopete-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kwifimanager-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/ktalkd-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdenetwork-filesharing-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/kdict-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * Added '=kde-base/dcoprss-3.5.7 ~x86' to /etc/portage/package.keywords * done! ea ~ (0) # emerge -pv =kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.7 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies / emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~kde-base/librss-3.5.7".
