Created attachment 18160 [details] Script to check for broken deps in portage tree only parameter : portage root (default value : /usr/portage/)
AFAICS the large majority of these are blockers and a few PROVIDES, both completely valid to not be in portage (although the PROVIDES aren't necessary anymore). Please fix these issues and make a new list, otherwise I'll close this as INVALID. Btw, we have a checking tool distributed with portage: repoman. It's only working with cvs trees right now but I have a patch so it works with non-cvs trees too (have to check if it's still working with -r5).
Created attachment 18165 [details] Improved script to use it : ./DepCheck.pl /usr/portage/ | sort sample output : BLOCKER|app-admin/prelude-lml/prelude-lml-0.8.3.ebuild|app-admin/prelude-lml-cvs DEPEND|sys-apps/lm-sensors/lm-sensors-2.7.0-r1.ebuild|sys-kernel/lolo-sources PROVIDE|app-sci/babel/babel-1.6.ebuild|app-misc/babel
it's a neat script but like marius already said, repoman can do this
