Nope. 2006.1 is not supported "any more", and it gave instructions to "upgrade" to 2006.0. So the main bug remains. I have this weird vertigo feeling of Gentoo doing time warping and jumping. Your tree is out of sync. media-libs/openal-20050504 isn't in the portage tree any more. This is not a support forum. Also emerge --sync please. If you need help, use forums.gentoo.org or #gentoo on IRC; bugzilla is for bugs. (In reply to comment #3) > This is not a support forum. Also emerge --sync please.

It's definately better than when I started interacting with developers in the late 1980s. You remind me of our great multinational corporations with their attitudes towards good folk like me. I emerge sync just about every day. I'll check to see why openal-20050504 is still in it. I still have: $ ls -al /var/lib/portage/media-libs/openal total 51 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 376 Oct 17 08:06 ./ drwxr-xr-x 241 portage portage 6376 Oct 17 18:36 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10716 Oct 17 08:06 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4910 Oct 17 08:06 Manifest drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 672 Sep 29 10:05 files/ -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 254 Feb 18 2004 metadata.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1590 Oct 17 08:06 openal-0.0.8-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1374 Sep 4 00:13 openal-0.0.8.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1970 May 11 14:05 openal-20050504-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2047 May 24 20:40 openal-20050504-r2.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1946 Jun 8 10:36 openal-20051024.ebuild $ So, it is not supposed to be there? Are you truthfully talking about openal-20050504 or really openal-20050504*? Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to brick walls with the illustrious Gentoo teams. This isn't a bug? How isn't it a bug? "emerge sync" does not produce what you describe. I will hunt down an online version of the current Gentoo portage tree to see if it can be reconciled with what you said. Indeed, http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=openal reveals: openal Description: OpenAL, the Open Audio Library, is an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform API for interactive, primarily spatialized audio Releases alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 ppc macos s390 sh sparc sparc fbsd x86 x86 fbsd 0.0.8-r1 ~ ~ - ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - - - ~ - ~ ~ 0.0.8 + + - ~ + ~ + + - - - + - + - Category Homepage License ChangeLog Similar Bugs Forums without any mention of the items you said should not be included. Emerge sync must be broken. I will persue. An undocumented behavoir change of emerge caused the error. Ok, so it was a bug but not of the nature either of us expected. |
