I'm having issues with portage installing packages with --quickpkg-direct=y, when the package in question was never built with --buildpkg=y. The symptoms are as follows: # emerge --root /tmp/root --quickpkg-direct=y acct-group/portage * IMPORTANT: 5 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done! Dependency resolution took 1.11 s (backtrack: 0/20). [binary N ] acct-group/portage-0-r2-1 to /tmp/root/ Would you like to merge these packages?

Actually, I think I figured it out. The following sequence works: # emerge -1 --buildpkg=n --usepkg=n acct-group/portage # emerge --root /tmp/root --quickpkg-direct=y acct-group/portage The following sequence doesn't work: # emerge -1 --buildpkg=y --usepkg=n acct-group/portage # emerge --root /tmp/root --quickpkg-direct=y acct-group/portage Removing the BUILD_ID file from the package database also works: # rm -v /var/db/pkg/acct-group/portage-*/BUILD_ID # emerge --root /tmp/root --quickpkg-direct=y acct-group/portage
This is fallout from the change related to bug 934784.
