Bug 135834 – emerge --usepkg doesn't use a binary package unless it has a matching ebuild in the tree

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nick 2006-06-06 17:32:30 UTC]

-k Tells emerge to use binary packages *if available*.

I have tried emerge -k '=packageversion' including the needed '', but, failing to find the corresponding ebuild (I've synced and tried to install modular X), it merely states "there are no ebuilds" without looking for a binary package.

To reproduce: see #135700

Workaround: emerge -K '=packageversion'

don't do post refreshs... you're submitting dupes every time you refresh (like 135841)

[Comment 4 Zac Medico 2006-06-06 18:11:29 UTC]

It works for me.  Please post the output of `emerge --info` and a list of files in $PKGDIR/All/.

[Comment 5 Nick 2006-06-06 18:40:44 UTC]

Do you have a binary package with no corresponding ebuild?

emerge -k "=xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2"
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies   
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2".

Bug confirmed.
Portage 2.1 (hardened/x86, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r2, 2.4.32-hardened-r4 i686)
--

cd /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/*/libusb ; rm -f *.ebuild ; emerge -Kpv usbutils

[binary  N    ] dev-libs/libusb-0.1.10a  USE="-debug -doc" [No ebuild?]
[binary  N    ] sys-apps/usbutils-0.71-r1

...

cd /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/*/libusb ; rm -f *.ebuild ; emerge -kpv usbutils

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-libs/libusb".
(dependency required by "sys-apps/usbutils-0.71-r1" [binary])

[Comment 7 Zac Medico 2006-07-09 17:38:33 UTC]

In my testing I've found 2 distinct bugs here.  Currently you can merge a binary package for which no ebuild exists, but you must specify the category (due to a bug in the matching behavior) and you must also use the --usepkgonly option due to breakage from the fix for bug #55871.  I'll work on correcting both of these issues...

[Comment 8 Zac Medico 2006-07-09 19:03:59 UTC]

Both issues are fixed in svn r3827 to r3829.

[Comment 9 Zac Medico 2006-07-11 12:24:02 UTC]

This has been released in 2.1.1_pre2-r7.
