Description Sven Eden 2014-10-28 16:26:52 UTC 
jonfr reported in the forums that ufed-0.91 terminates with the message:

--------
ERROR: insufficient parameters!
--------

Upon further questioning, jonfr confirmed, that eix is not installed on their system.

This means my eix detection code is broken.

This bug is a reminder for me to fix this for the 0.92 release.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do not have app-portage/eix installed
2. Install app-portage/ufed-0.91
3. run ufed
Actual Results:  
ufed terminates with an error message.

Expected Results:  
ufed should use alternative measures without the need for eix to be installed.
Comment 1 Sven Eden 2014-11-10 10:10:55 UTC 
Detection code updated.

There could be another issue, though.
Comment 2 Sven Eden 2015-03-09 10:53:29 UTC 
Fixed in ufed-0.92
Comment 3 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2017-04-10 22:50:49 UTC 
Still exists for me in 0.92, no eix.

I will look into it.

Sorry, but I just uninstalled eix, and ufed-0.92 works like a charm with latest portage. I need more information to be able to reproduce the issue. If eix isn't present, ufed uses /usr/bin/portageq, which is part of portage and should always be present.
