Description Arnd Feldmueller 2004-04-14 12:25:50 UTC 
Hi,

after an emerge sync ; emerge -U system ; emerge -U world I got a long bug
from emerge. I looked in /var/cache/edb/world and I can't find a mistake there.

And the bug is:
emerge -U world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
Calculating world dependencies -Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2517, in ?
    if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1115, in xcreate
    cand=self.is_newer_ver_installed(portage.root,mydep,myeb)
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 917, in is_newer_ver_installed
    cand=portage.portdb.xmatch("bestmatch-list",pkg,mylist=alleb)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4694, in xmatch
    myval=best(match_from_list(mydep,mylist))
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3469, in best
    if pkgcmp(p1,p2)>0:
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2833, in pkgcmp
    mycmp=vercmp(pkg1[1],pkg2[1])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2819, in vercmp
    cmp2=relparse(val2[x])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2507, in relparse
    number=string.atof(mynewver[0])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 205, in atof
    return _float(s)
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): .0b





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -U system
3. emerge -U world

then broken. see discription of my bug.

Actual Results:  
emerge -U world 
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
