Bug 20272 – qmail postfix and TypeError: unsubscriptable object

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2003-05-01 08:59:27 UTC]

Installed is: Postfix 2.0.9-r1
I wanted to test qmail.

emerge qmail -p
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r5
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/daemontools-0.76-r3
[blocks B    ] net-mail/postfix ("virtual/mta" from pkg net-mail/qmail-1.03-r8)
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/dot-forward-0.71-r1
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/checkpassword-0.90-r1
[ebuild  N   ] net-mail/qmail-1.03-r8

Then started to download the packages:

emerge qmail -f
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 6) sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r5 to /
>>> emerge (2 of 6) sys-apps/daemontools-0.76-r3 to /
Traceback (most recent call last):

    myloc=self.oroot+"/"+mysplit[0]+"/"+psplit[0]+"/"+mysplit[1]+".ebuild"
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

And that's it.

emerge --version
Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4)

I did a new rsync-run, but nothing has changed.

qmail and postfix can't be installed at the same time. can't reproduce the portage error ...

[Comment 2 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2003-07-18 14:53:25 UTC]

emerge --version
Portage 2.0.49_pre12 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.1-r4)

and i cannot reproduce this error, too.

Of course it doesnot make sense to install two mtas, but it should be possible to fetch the sources of another mta.
