Bug 65874 – etcat -u fails

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Glenn McCarthy 2004-09-29 22:34:50 UTC]

etcat -u fails with the message..

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 675, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 671, in main
    function(query, matches)
  File "/usr/bin/etcat", line 362, in uses
    used = p.get_use_vars().split()
AttributeError: Package instance has no attribute 'get_use_vars'


In /usr/bin/etcat line 362:
used = p.get_use_vars().split()

should be changed to; 
used = p.get_use_flags().split()

This is present in gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre9, and also gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8

I have not checked other versions yet.

qpkg and etcat are deprecated, please use equery instead.

[Comment 2 Daniel Webert 2004-10-11 13:37:22 UTC]

have a look at:
equery uses --help

example:
equery uses mplayer
