• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2004-01-26 10:21:41 UTC]

TUS-Server root # emerge /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1.ebuild -C
['', 'var', 'db', 'pkg', 'sys-kernel', 'gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1', 'gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1.ebuild']
/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1.ebuild

!!! /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1.ebuild is not inside /var/db/pkg; aborting.

TUS-Server root #

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run emerge -C /var/db/pkg/some_package (warning, it removes it!!) (Or it should if it was working)

Actual Results:  
If failed, gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1 is still there

Expected Results:  
gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1 got removed

Created attachment 24472 [details, diff]
various VDB_PATH configurations patch

Hopefully this would allow for the VDB_PATH to be of any length and contain any
number of /'s (within reason).

I think this bug has been fixed in current stable portage(2.0.50-r3).

If the problem exists yet, please feel free to open.
