Description Thomas Eckert 2003-08-09 03:32:57 UTC

maybe I'm missing something here? it seems that all *.eclass-files are not owned
by any package (checked with epm v0.8.4 and etcat).
(/usr/portage/eclass/ belongs to baselayout but the contents is "owner-less")

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

The eclasses are created/updated with emerge sync, so they don't belong to any package. The same is true for the whole /usr/portage tree.

many packages use /usr/portage/eclass/*.eclass ... 
 
the way you check is if an ebuild has 'inherit <eclass>' in it

Comment 3 Thomas Eckert 2003-08-10 00:01:35 UTC

Argh! Right, everything is /usr/portage is synced and can't belong to a package.
A little history what led me off the track: I was locking for the *.eclass files
and listed the contents of "sys-apps/portage" -- but (suprise-suprise) no eclass-files in there. At that point I stopped thinking, ran "locate" to find the eclassed, checked what package they belong to, ... :|

It seems that I can't "RESOLVE" this bug -- maybe some bugzilla-ghost can help? ;)
