Description Gil Shallom 2010-11-09 21:31:24 UTC
Executing:
g-octave -u econometrics

Resulted in:
>>> Creating Manifest for /var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/miscellaneous
 * Ebuild class error - Package not found: /econometrics-1.0.8
 * If you fell that this is a bug, please report to us.
 * http://www.g-octave.org/

The econometrics ebuild was created at another path which is:
/var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/econometrics

The g-octave ebuild directory looks as follows:
# ls /var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/*
/var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/econometrics:
econometrics-1.0.8.ebuild  Manifest  metadata.xml

/var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/miscellaneous:
Manifest  metadata.xml  miscellaneous-1.0.9.ebuild

/var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/optim:
Manifest  metadata.xml  optim-1.0.12.ebuild

This was done after doing:
emerge -auv g-octave
And after no changes to config file, executed:
emerge --config =g-octave-0.4.1


Octave version:
# octave --version
GNU Octave, version 3.2.4


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -auv g-octave
2. emerge --config =g-octave-0.4.1
3. g-octave -u econometrics

Actual Results:  
The following error appears:

>>> Creating Manifest for /var/lib/g-octave/g-octave/miscellaneous
 * Ebuild class error - Package not found: /econometrics-1.0.8
 * If you fell that this is a bug, please report to us.
 * http://www.g-octave.org/

Expected Results:  
Package should be installed
Comment 1 Gil Shallom 2010-12-10 04:17:35 UTC
Needed to add the science overlay before running g-octave.
The problem was solved by running:

layman -a science
g-octave -av econometrics

I have missed the science overlay part in the documentation.
Sorry for the trouble.
