Bug 8332 – kportage and emerge with gcvs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gilles G 2002-09-24 19:23:20 UTC]

different behavior between kportage and emerge command line.
for tha package gcvs:
=====================

emerge -p gcvs

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies \

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy "gnome-extra/libglademm" (from ebuild / 
dev-util/gcvs-1.0_beta3-r1 merge) have been masked.
 ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] dev-util/gcvs-1.0_beta3-r1
and emerge gcs will do the work and emerge correctly gcvs.

kportage will display the first sentence 
all ebuilds that could satisfy "gnome-extra/libglademm" (from ebuild / dev-
util/gcvs-1.0_beta3-r1 merge) have been masked.
 ...done!
and stop emerging.


I do not know if it is important, but...

this is a bug of kportage (parsing of emerge -p output). 

[Comment 2 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2002-10-15 05:46:18 UTC]

should be fixed in current cvs of kportage. 
please test, cvs instructions are at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=kportage 

[Comment 3 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2002-11-03 10:38:42 UTC]

kportage-0.5.1 is out, this bug should be fixed there, please test and resolve this bug if it works now.  

[Comment 4 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2002-11-13 16:02:17 UTC]

tested the new kportage? please report success or if it still does not work. 

[Comment 5 Gilles G 2002-11-13 16:22:25 UTC]

Seems to be working, beacuse now the default behavoir of emerge is to 
do as Kportage used to do.

Now Kportage and emerge react the same.

So closing.
