Bug 252817 – app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.2: awk shouldn't complain about missing .la files

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2008-12-28 13:32:43 UTC]

After unmergeing some sound libs and realizing that now kbattleship do not have any longer sound cabability I got thhis output:

n22 ~ # revdep-rebuild -- --ask

 * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild

 * Checking reverse dependencies
 * Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update
 * will be emerged.

 * Collecting system binaries and libraries
 * Found existing 1_files.rr
 * Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 * Found existing 2_ldpath.rr.
 * Checking dynamic linking consistency
[ 60% ] awk: cmd. line:5: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/lib/libSDL_ttf.la' for reading (No such file or directory)
[ 67% ] awk: cmd. line:5: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/lib/liblua.la' for reading (No such file or directory)
[ 72% ] awk: cmd. line:5: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/lib/libxerces-c.la' for reading (No such file or directory)
[ 100% ]

BTW shouldn't such missing result into some rebuilds ?

Reproducible: Always

I believe the files are missing due to revdep-rebuild utilizing its existing cache files, that in this case contain files that have been unmerged.

Running revdep-rebuild --ignore will prevent this.

I'll look at fixing revdep-rebuild to better handle this situation.

That might be true, I run revdep-rebuild a lot within last daays after cleaned up my system.

Created attachment 179613 [details, diff]
revdep-rebuild_invalid_files_file.patch

Checks that all the files in $FILES_FILE exist. If not, recreates it.

oops, forgot some important parts, like actually reading the file. Also -f here makes more sense than -r and -s

This did not make it into gentoolkit.0.3.0.  We need to make sure that we don't introduce the same bug in the python rewrite.  Additionally, I will make sure that it gets into any patch releases of gentoolkit-0.3.0

seems to be fixed ?

[Comment 7 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2012-02-29 21:21:35 UTC]

Looking at the code, I don't think it is fixed.
