Bug 61753 – emerge option -D and -k don't work together

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evert 2004-08-26 01:55:13 UTC]

when emerge -uDp world works, adding the -k option to see if binary packages are available on my system don't work. However, removing the -D option makes the -k option do again what it should do but this way I lose the --deep function.
It turns out the options -D and -k don't work together.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uDpk world

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

Can you try to (re)move your binaries out of the way and test again ? Might be just a broken .tbz2 package that's only touched with --deep.

Well, that seems to do the trick. This also happened to me on alpha. But it looks very strange to me. In my opinion, "emerge -uDpk world" only differs in the fact that for every package it would update with "emerge -uDp world" it should look if a binary package is available on the system and not give me some fancy error msg. Or am I thinking too simple now?

2.0.50-r10's binary support was mildly broken. Please test again on 2.0.50-r11.

[Comment 4 Evert 2004-09-09 06:53:26 UTC]

Since I removed the binaries, 2.0.50-r10 workes OK for me and so does 2.0.50-r11 so I can't tell the difference anymore so I'll mark this bug as fixed...
