Description R.I.P. 2008-04-10 11:44:40 UTC

Recently Gnome 2.22 was unmasked and installs fine, but eix still says that gnome packages are masked.
update-eix doesn't help.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update portage tree
2. eix -e gnome.

Actual Results:  
* gnome-base/gnome
     Available versions:  (2.0)  2.20.3 [M](~)2.22.0
        {accessibility cdr cups dvdr esd ldap mono}
     Homepage:            http://www.gnome.org/
     Description:         Meta package for the GNOME desktop


Expected Results:  
* gnome-base/gnome
     Available versions:  (2.0)  2.20.3 (~)2.22.0
        {accessibility cdr cups dvdr esd ldap mono}
     Homepage:            http://www.gnome.org/
     Description:         Meta package for the GNOME desktop


probably eix is confused by /usr/share/profiles/arch/x83/package.mask:

I have got the same problem though with about 10-15 packages. All of them are in this file:

/usr/portage/profiles/base/package.mask

sorry, forgot to write it, the latest in the tree -  eix-0.12.3

Comment 6 Martin Väth 2008-04-10 21:47:07 UTC

Thanks for the report. It seems eix read the profiles in the wrong order:
Parents have to be read before children. Fixed in eix trunk (>=eix-0.12.4).

Comment 7 Martin Väth 2008-04-19 22:51:11 UTC

Closing since eix-0.12.4 is in the tree.
Please reopen if the bug still occurs with that version.
