Bug 5011 – emerge search '' doesnt work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2002-07-15 04:31:07 UTC]

search (-s short option)
              searches for matches of the supplied string in the current local
              portage tree. The search string is a regular expression.
              A few examples: 
              emerge search '^kde'
                  list all packages starting with kde
              emerge search 'gcc$'
                  list all packages ending with gcc
-->              emerge search '' or
              emerge search '.*'
                  list all available packages 



# emerge search ''  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 96, in ?
    if x[-1]=="/":
IndexError: string index out of range


emerge search '.* works fine

As already suggested on ML the line must be replaced with:

if x.endswith('/'):
