Bug 72292 – dispatch-conf AttributeError: no attribute 'config'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Iain Buchanan 2004-11-23 16:16:12 UTC]

dispatch-conf starts ok, finds config files, displays menu of choices, but selecting 'u' then shows this error:

>> q quit, h help, n next, e edit-new, z zap-new, u use-new
   m merge, t toggle-merge, l look-merge:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin//dispatch-conf", line 309, in ?
    d.grind (portage.settings ['CONFIG_PROTECT'])
  File "/usr/sbin//dispatch-conf", line 208, in grind
    self.replace(newconf, conf ['current'])
  File "/usr/sbin//dispatch-conf", line 222, in replace
    os.system((DIFF_CONTENTS % (curconf, newconf)) + '>>' + self.config["log-file"])
AttributeError: dispatch instance has no attribute 'config'

This happens regardless of the type of file (binary / text)

Also, if I manually update this file and use dispatch-conf again, it happens with the next file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run dispatch-conf
2. select 'u'

[Comment 1 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-12-02 10:08:45 UTC]

sync and merge portage again?

[Comment 2 Iain Buchanan 2004-12-06 20:16:13 UTC]

Hmm, I re-emerged the original version many times (2.0.51-r3) but that didn't fix it.  Somewhere between there and here (2.0.51-r7) though it has been fixed.

[Comment 3 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-07-14 05:48:04 UTC]

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1 

[Comment 4 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-07-14 06:58:46 UTC]

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed. 
 
If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that 
it be reopened.
