Bug 118819 – emerge ORBit-0.5.17 fails during unmerge step.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Philippe Laflamme 2006-01-12 14:52:54 UTC]

I'm upgrading my system to use gcc-3.4 and I'm using the "long" method with emerge -e. One of my packages previously faild, so the emerge that is failing is actually 

# emerge --resume

The upgrade fails when it tries to unmerge (after successful merge) ORBit-0.5.17:

something is seriously wrong.

There is no such package gnome-base/ORBit-0.5.17 ( at least in the official tree ).

I'd try with no overlay's and see if you can manually merge/unmerge that package.

[Comment 4 Philippe Laflamme 2006-01-18 13:13:17 UTC]

May be a case problem (orb vs. ORB), but orbit-0.5.17 sure exists:

/usr/portage/gnome-base/orbit/orbit-0.5.17.ebuild
or
http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=orbit

Recently orbit-0.5.17-r1 was added to portage and seems to have emerged correctly on my machine...

Maybe you could resolve it...

local issue, thanks for the responses
