Bug 216483 – update-eix fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hans Halvorson 2008-04-06 09:23:32 UTC]

The output from update-eix ends with:

Applying masks ..
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::compare
Aborted


Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Emil Beinroth 2008-04-06 10:57:12 UTC]

And what version of eix are you running?

[Comment 2 Emil Beinroth 2008-04-06 13:38:43 UTC]

Created attachment 148861 [details, diff]
Fix faulty comparison for =* masks

"-0*" masks (for example "=app-portage/eix-0*") triggered an exception in eix. This patch addresses the issue and fixes the comparison of wildcard masks.

All versions >=0.12.0 are affected by this problem.

[Comment 3 Hans Halvorson 2008-04-06 16:11:22 UTC]

I'm running eix 0.12.3

[Comment 4 Hans Halvorson 2008-04-18 09:14:24 UTC]

As far as I can tell, the problem has been fixed in eix 0.12.4. Shall we mark this bug as fixed?

[Comment 5 Martin Väth 2008-06-25 19:42:59 UTC]

Marking as "fixed". Please re-open if there are still problems.

got the problem on my amd64 no-multilib box.
always reproducible with versions 12.4, 13.3, 13.4.
