Description Yariv Ido 2002-08-20 16:53:39 UTC
Maybe this is a really minor bug in sylpheed-theme's ebuild, or a minor bug in
portage. I just don't know how the portage system calculates what packages are
installed and what aren't, when using emerge search.

emerge search sylpheed-theme:
*  x11-themes/sylpheed-theme
      Latest version Available: 3
      Latest version Installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Homepage: http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/
      Description: Theme packs for sylpheed and sylpheed-claws and sylpheed-claws-nc

emerge sylpheed-theme -p:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] x11-themes/sylpheed-theme-3 to /

I tried remeging sylpheed-theme, but it still showed as 'Not Installed'.

portage bug :/
Comment 2 Yariv Ido 2002-08-27 16:33:14 UTC
You've probably found the small bug, but just in case - I did a little
experiment and it seems that the problem is with short package versions ( '3' in
this case ). I've tried to merge package xt ( xt-1.ebuild ), and the same bug
showed.

emerge is the first python program I ever saw, so forgive me if I'm totally off
track... It seems that changing line 448 ( portage 2.0.28 ) from:
		if len(version) > 1:
to
		if len(version) >= 1:

did the trick.

OK, will be fixed in 2.0.30 final.
