Description David Bryson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-03 12:04:22 UTC 
if you specify a ROOT directory to merge packages into with ebuild on the
command line, it does not seem to be able to handle it



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ROOT=/tmp/rootme ebuild some_ebuild.sh merge
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the last bits of output from ebuild are:

>>> Merging sys-apps/man-1.5l-r4 to /tmp/rootme
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ebuild", line 34, in ?
    a=portage.doebuild(pargs[0],x,getroot(),debug=debug)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1712, in doebuild
    return
merge(settings["CATEGORY"],settings["PF"],settings["D"],settings["BUILDDIR"]+"/build-info",myroot,myebuild=settings["EBUILD"])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4532, in merge
    return self.treewalk(mergeroot,myroot,inforoot,myebuild)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4199, in treewalk
    counter=db[destroot]["vartree"].dbapi.counter_tick()
KeyError: /tmp/rootme


Expected Results:  
properly merging the package
