Bug 200863 – kamikaze-sources fails to emerge with portage-2.1.4 (rc3 or rc4) but works with 2.1.3.19

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexandru Munteanu 2007-11-30 20:13:59 UTC]

Hello,

I'm reporting this issue because I believe there is a bug in the portage.
I have successfully installed kamikaze-sources several times with portage
version 2.1.3.19, but when I upgraded to 2.1.4, it won't emerge any more
(apparently any version of kamikaze-sources fails).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge portage-2.1.4-rc4
2.Emerge layman and set custom kernels as explained here : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-610850-highlight-seren.html (section 6.3 an d 9.1)
3.Emerge kamikaze-sources : emerge -av kamikaze-sources

Actual Results:  
Here is the error message for version 2.6.23-r5 :

FATAL: unable to locate: /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/kamikaze-sources-2.6.23-r5/distdir/linux-.bz2

Notice that there is no kernel version in "linux-.bz2".

Expected Results:  
Expected results : to emerge the package successfully even with portage upgraded.

The ebuild for this example is quite simple :

Created attachment 137421 [details, diff]
preserve ${KV} since kernel-2.eclass uses it

If this patch is saved as /tmp/kv.patch, then it can be applied as follows:

patch /usr/lib/portage/bin/isolated-functions.sh < /tmp/kv.patch
