emerge -C kdetoys Ximian root # emerge -up kde [ebuild N ] kde-base/kdetoys-3.0.2 to / [ebuild R ] kde-base/kde-3.0.2 to / Ximian root # emerge --help | grep inject inject (-i short option) emerge inject gentoo-sources-2.4.19 following the example provided i've done: Ximian root # emerge -i kdetoys-3.0.2 >>> Injected kdetoys-3.0.2. Ximian root # emerge -up kde [ebuild N ] kde-base/kdetoys-3.0.2 to / [ebuild R ] kde-base/kde-3.0.2 to / 'man emerge' helped me. then I tried: Ximian root # emerge -i kde-base/kdetoys-3.0.2 >>> Injected kde-base/kdetoys-3.0.2. and it worked fine. Ximian root # emerge -p kde [ebuild R ] kde-base/kde-3.0.2 to / 0) emerge -i ${PVR} without ${CATEGORY} should produce a warning msg and shouldn't let users inject packages that way. Ximian root # emerge -i kdetoys-3.0.2 !!! Not injecting kdetoys-3.0.2; Package already exists. wrong ! kdetoys-3.0.2 doesn't exist only kde-base/kdetoys-3.0.2 really exists. 1) What about updating the --help ? 2) 'emerge -i' without other parameters does nothing. What about printing an help msg such as emerge -C, -s do ? 3) Also messages provided by emerge -u -k -b -p -o -n -f, etc (without any other parameter) should be tweaked. I'm suggesting this since gentoo 1.4 will be released soon (at least, as soon as gcc guys will release gcc 3.2 stable) Infos: Gentoo 1.4beta gcc 3.2 prerelease Portage 2.0.27-thread-r1 See ya guys.
OK, this will be fixed in portage 2.0.29. Thanks :)
