• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2004-05-31 03:23:41 UTC]

# emerge -va openoffice-bin 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.1  -gnome -kde  158,908 kB 

Total size of downloads: 158,908 kB


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge -va openoffice-bin 
Actual Results:  
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.1  -gnome -kde  158,908 kB 


Expected Results:  
The package is about 80MB.

Well, after a lot of debugging, I think I got it.

The numebr above seems to be the sum of the filesizes in
/usr/portage/app-office/openoffice-bin/files/digest-openoffice-bin-1.1.1 ...

Is this specific to this ebuild, or to any other which is arch dependent for
example?

May be the way we write sources in the ebuild?

Seems to be fixed in CVS

I just checked and it is fixed in portage-2.0.50-r8

After a long work through the CVS tree, I think here was the fix:
