sys-cluster/openpbs-common-1.1.1 can not be installed, as it depends on virtual/pbs, which pulls in sys-cluster/torque-2.2.1-r2 which itself blocks openpbs-common.

Funny, the package only has one dependency (virtual/pbs), which doesn't exist in the main tree. Removing that broken(?) dependency allows the emerging to complete, but results in three pretty useless(?) files. Looking into the init script would possibly reveal some anachronisms: eerror "Are you sure you've actually installed an ebuild that provides virtual/pbs?" eerror "Try emerging sys-cluster/torque or sys-cluster/openpbs." Out of those two openpbs has been gone from the tree for 20 months due to security issues (bug #153495 ) and torque has apparently evolved to be incompatible with this stuff. Time to call ghostbusters or treecleaners instead of trying to revive this one?
(In reply to comment #1) > Funny, the package only has one dependency (virtual/pbs), which doesn't exist > in the main tree. Just for the record: virtual/pbs does exist. It's an old style virtual defined in ${PORTDIR}/profiles/base/virtuals (see also [1]) and pulls in sys-cluster/torque. Apart from that, you are absolutely right: If nobody is willing to maintain this stuff, it should just be removed from the tree. As it seems there isn't much interest in the package anyway. Thus I'm going to ask in #gentoo-cluster if anyone would be offended if I add treecleans to cc.
<mlangc> would anyone of you guys be offended if I add treecleaners to bug 255425? <jsbronder> Take it away :) <jsbronder> The stuff it used to install is in torque's ebuild now. So be it ;-).
Marking as 60 days and simply ignoring the last-rites message because it seems pointless =P +# Jeremy Olexa <darkside@gentoo.org> (04 Feb 2009) +# Masked for removal in 60 days. Use sys-cluster/torque instead. bug 255425 +sys-cluster/openpbs-common + Thanks.
gone.
