Bug 18336 – portage says null instead of category when using emerge -C

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Matt Taylor 2003-03-27 20:39:48 UTC]

I have alot of packages that were installed before the SLOT system, so when I do
updates lots of times I'm stuck with multiple -r versions still installed so I
emerge -C the old ones.  Just noticed this output:

# emerge -pC gtk+-1.2.10-r7

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 null/gtk+
    selected: 1.2.10-r7
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.

if I do it to the just merged version I still get:

# emerge -pC gtk+-1.2.10-r10 

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 null/gtk+
    selected: 1.2.10-r10
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.

if I don't specify the version number it works as expected:

# emerge -pC gtk+

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 x11-libs/gtk+
    selected: 1.2.10-r10 1.2.10-r7 2.2.1
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.

everything unmerges fine, its just the output thats wrong.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -pC any package

Actual Results:  
shown output

Expected Results:  
show proper category

portage-2.0.48 still has this behavior.

Created attachment 16292 [details, diff]
patch to show the real category

This patch should fix most cases where this error could occur, please test.

Created attachment 16347 [details, diff]
patch for emerge

I fixed this bug.

And I found another 2 bugs like this bug.
1. emerge -pC app-text
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/masatomo/gentoo-src/nakano/emerge", line 1872, in ?
    if 1==unmerge(myaction, myfiles):
  File "/home/masatomo/gentoo-src/nakano/emerge", line 1486, in unmerge
    if y not in pkgmap[mykey]["omitted"] and \
(This bug happens in portage-2.0.49_pre18)

2. "omitted:" are not displayed sometimes.

I also fixed this 2 bugs and cleanuped the code.
