Package masked in /etc/portage/package.mask caused the following: Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/ORBit2-2.9" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - gnome-base/ORBit2-2.10.0 (masked by: package.mask) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2617, in ? if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1187, in xcreate if not self.create(myk,myuse=binpkguseflags): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 867, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1086, in select_dep if not self.create(myk,myparent,myuse=binpkguseflags): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 867, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1086, in select_dep if not self.create(myk,myparent,myuse=binpkguseflags): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 867, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1086, in select_dep if not self.create(myk,myparent,myuse=binpkguseflags): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 867, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1086, in select_dep if not self.create(myk,myparent,myuse=binpkguseflags): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 867, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1025, in select_dep comment = portage.getmaskingreason(p) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3496, in getmaskingreason if l[0] == "#": IndexError: string index out of range
Can you tell me which revision of package.mask caused that, as the entry for ORBit2 is commented in the current version (and I can't reproduce it by simply uncommenting). The only possible reason for this exception that I see atm is if the package.mask is empty, but then the package wouldn't be masked ;)
Ok, I guess you had that entry in your /etc/portage/pckage.mask, right? My statement about empty package.mask was wrong, just forgot that pmaskdict contains the entries from both package.mask files. Fixed in CVS.
