When I attempt to emerge qt-3.3.4 as part of a installation of kdebase-startkde (KDE 3.4.0 beta), I get the following error message and then emerge halts:

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking qt-x11-free-3.3.4.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.4/work
 * Applying qt-no-rpath-uic.patch ...                                                                   [ ok ]

 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:

it emerges fine once i remove the immqt USE flag and do a emerge --resume.

[Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-30 07:43:34 UTC]

K C Leung: Yes, should have been tested and commented out.

cjk herd: Afaik you took care of this patch in the past!?

[Comment 3 Mamoru KOMACHI (RETIRED) 2005-01-30 08:20:10 UTC]

Yeah. Immqt patch doesn't apply cleanly to qt-3.3.4.
Please comment out immqt things (along with IMMQT_P)
until I make a patch. (or should I do so by myself?) 

[Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-30 08:53:07 UTC]

On a second thought: Isn't it better, if the ebuild fails, instead silently ending up with replaced libs without the patch!? It's not marked stable and no one else suffers, so ... do as you like Mamoru. :)

Fixed in CVS ;) Thanks for the bug report.
