Bug 18498 – Error about evidence during update world

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Narada Sage 2003-03-30 16:10:28 UTC]

Hello

Everytime I execute the command 'emerge -UDuvb world' to keep my packages up to
date I get the following error once all the packages have finished installing.

------
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.


 * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `//usr/share/info/evidence.info.gz'
 * Processed 77 info files; 1 errors.
------

All I can see are two forward slashes but I'm not sure how to go about resolving
this issue.  It began after I emerged enlightenment-cvs and it has been
reproduced on another machine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

i don't have evidence, can you attach the /usr/share/info/evidence.info.gz?

[Comment 2 Narada Sage 2003-04-01 16:26:24 UTC]

Created attachment 10098 [details]
/usr/share/info/evidence.info.gz

Sure.  Here it is.

ok, this has been fixed in portage now. you'll have to remerge.

please reopen if it still doesn't fix this.
