Bug 20898 – emerge -vup world missing iptables

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Rob 2003-05-13 01:39:29 UTC]

When I do a emerge -vup world I see no packages to upgrade.  But I know that I 
do not have the latest unmasked iptables.  So I do a emerge -vup iptables and 
it shows up as upgradeable! emerge -vup world --deep doesn't show the package 
either...  I tried an emerge regen and that didn't help.

Is this an emerge or iptables or user problem :)???


Reproducible: Always

Here's the log:

foxtrot root # emerge -vup world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

please try running "regenworld"

[Comment 2 Rob 2003-05-13 10:56:01 UTC]

Thanks, that fixed the problem.

Anything you explicitly merge should be in the world file, so you may have either not explicitly merged it or your world file was broken.

[Comment 4 Rob 2003-05-13 12:49:17 UTC]

I've emerged it myself manually before so it should be in my world file.  Even though my problem is fixed, there is still a deeper problem of why my world file got into the state where it did not have iptables in the first place.

I know I have previously edited the iptables-1.2.7a-r3.ebuild file manually because I wanted the install to add install-devel.  Might this have confused emerge?
