Description Carl A. Dunham 2004-07-24 06:18:40 UTC

It seems like any emerges that require epatch aren't working unless they inherit eutils. Is this expected?

First noticed it with the ebuild here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=173226&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

but then was able to reproduce it with other overlay ebuilds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
from emerge of the ebuild referenced above: 
 
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 18: epatch: command not found 
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 19: epatch: command not found 
 

Expected Results:  
patches applied

This is the right behaviour - using epatch requires inheriting eutils. Please file new bugs if official ebuilds fails due to missing inherits.
