I installed yum and emerge pulled in rpm as dependency. The python and lua USE-flags for yum were not enabled and so rpm was also installed without python and lua support. When I tried to run yum it failed with an import error for rpm. Whe I have the python USE-flag enabled I have problem with built-in lua scripts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-python -lua" # not necessary on my system 2. emerge yum 3. yum install nano 4. yum fails with an import error of rpm 5. if python is present but not lua there will be an error about missing built-in scripts Actual Results: while running yum it fails to import the pyhton depency for rpm There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named _rpm Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.7.7 (default, Oct 7 2014, 17:21:50) [GCC 4.7.3] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the

# Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> (04 Aug 2017) # sys-apps/yum is severely outdated (last bump 2013), unmaintained # since 2010. It has vulnerabilities. Removal in 30 days.

commit e70e26dba37b28340c631ad00489863ddd412cc6 Author: Sergey Popov <pinkbyte@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Aug 7 13:49:04 2017 +0300 sys-apps/yum: version bump Set Python shebang properly for /usr/bin/yum Add missing 'python' USE-flag to app-arch/rpm dependency Drop old vulnerable versions Gentoo-Bug: 499328 Gentoo-Bug: 563850 Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.6, Repoman-2.3.1 >if python is present but not lua there will be an error about missing built-in scripts Please elaborate - i did not see any errors regarding this. Missing 'python' IUSE was problem, indeed, and it was fixed. Closing as WORKSFORME for now.
