Description Rachel Greenham 2004-11-18 15:35:14 UTC
Installation forced by ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" for gentoo-osx testing

mirrorselect -i -r
... works perfectly.

mirrorselect -i
Seems to fail to work, in not having enough hosts to choose from? (see actual results below)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" emerge mirrorselect
2. sudo mirrorselect -i
3. 

Actual Results:  
pooka:/ rachel$ sudo mirrorselect -i

Downloading a list of mirrors...
cut: stdin: line too long.
<clear-screen>
VHOST entries have been removed. This list might be shorter than expected
Found 15 Mirrors: Error: Expected at least 7 tokens for --checklist, have 4. Use
--help to list options.
Updating /etc/make.conf
Mirrors set successfully

It then writes the error message into the GENTOO_MIRRORS line in /etc/make.conf.

Expected Results:  
Downloaded the list of mirrors and offered me the dialog menu with which to
select one.

Please test new versions of mirrorselect. They should work properly on osx. If
not, please use the -d (debug) flag and post the output as an attachment.
