qsearch shows "Cache file for '<package>' has unknown key INHERIT" warning for every displayed package. (qsearch -q suppresses the warning though) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `qsearch baselayout` (or pretty much any other package Actual Results: Getting "Cache file for '<package>' has unknown key INHERIT" warning for every displayed package: ``` qsearch: Cache file for 'sys-apps/baselayout-9999' has unknown key INHERIT sys-apps/baselayout: Filesystem baselayout and init scripts qsearch: Cache file for 'sys-apps/baselayout-java-0.1.0-r1' has unknown key INHERIT sys-apps/baselayout-java: Baselayout for Java qsearch: Cache file for 'sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-2.6-r3' has unknown key INHERIT sys-apps/baselayout-prefix: Filesystem baselayout and init scripts ``` However, some packages (without inherited eclasses?) don't product such a warning: ``` $ qsearch linux-sources virtual/linux-sources: Virtual for Linux kernel sources ``` Expected Results: No warning is shown. I started seeing this problem after I switched from using rsync (rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage) for Gentoo portage tree updates to "git-mirror" method (https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/repo/sync/gentoo.git). I think I also moved the repo from old-style /usr/portage to new-style /var/db/repos/gentoo/ location at the same time. portage-utils-0.90, 0.91, and 9999 (commit 13402fbd8c51f7feedcc85f2f0815768ec45ee7a) show the same behavior.

Indeed, comparing metadata from an rsync mirror and git-mirror repo shows the extra INHERIT key, that qsearch is complaining about: ``` $ diff -u rsync/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 /var/db/repos/gentoo/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 --- rsync/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 2021-05-12 23:39:37.000000000 +0300 +++ /var/db/repos/gentoo/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 2021-05-22 00:00:36.609371175 +0300 @@ -3,9 +3,10 @@ DESCRIPTION=Filesystem baselayout and init scripts EAPI=7 HOMEPAGE=https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/No_homepage +INHERIT=multilib prefix git-r3 IUSE=build kernel_FreeBSD kernel_linux +split-usr LICENSE=GPL-2 PROPERTIES=live SLOT=0 -_eclasses_=git-r3 b8e8c92aa5fe8df7187e466138eb4e52 multilib d410501a125f99ffb560b0c523cd3d1e prefix de7d8e2b10085ed5ff09ad70e4753e5c toolchain-funcs 24921b57d6561d87cbef4916a296ada4 +_eclasses_=multilib d410501a125f99ffb560b0c523cd3d1e toolchain-funcs 24921b57d6561d87cbef4916a296ada4 prefix de7d8e2b10085ed5ff09ad70e4753e5c git-r3 b8e8c92aa5fe8df7187e466138eb4e52 _md5_=2febc33447ac0d3307b93c4a9a2178e2 ```
Removing /var/db/repos/gentoo/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 and running `egencache --repo=gentoo --update sys-apps/baselayout` produces the same file as seen on the rsync mirror. So, I wonder if it's really a bug with https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/sync/gentoo.git/ tooling rather than with qsearch. ``` diff --git a/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 b/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 index 2c0ea5ec7b72..53c08ac70500 100644 --- a/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 +++ b/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/baselayout-9999 @@ -3,10 +3,9 @@ DEFINED_PHASES=install postinst preinst prepare setup unpack DESCRIPTION=Filesystem baselayout and init scripts EAPI=7 HOMEPAGE=https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/No_homepage -INHERIT=multilib prefix git-r3 IUSE=build kernel_FreeBSD kernel_linux +split-usr LICENSE=GPL-2 PROPERTIES=live SLOT=0 -_eclasses_=multilib d410501a125f99ffb560b0c523cd3d1e toolchain-funcs 24921b57d6561d87cbef4916a296ada4 prefix de7d8e2b10085ed5ff09ad70e4753e5c git-r3 b8e8c92aa5fe8df7187e466138eb4e52 +_eclasses_=git-r3 b8e8c92aa5fe8df7187e466138eb4e52 multilib d410501a125f99ffb560b0c523cd3d1e prefix de7d8e2b10085ed5ff09ad70e4753e5c toolchain-funcs 24921b57d6561d87cbef4916a296ada4 _md5_=2febc33447ac0d3307b93c4a9a2178e2 ```

It's not, INHERIT key is new in pkgcore and shows up if using `pmaint regen` instead of egencache. Arguably not the right fix but, if just want to silence it, attached patch should work meanwhile.
The reason it does this is because it finds "garbage". Question is indeed whether it should bother about it in the first place.

Oh, ok, good to know. It's a little unexpected that metadata for the main git sync repo is generated with an experimental (according to the wiki) package manager rather than the official package manager. Anyway, I'm happy with the fix that Fabian put in.
