Bug 202040 – revdep-rebuild find packages to rebuild, evaluates order and then doesn't emerge anything

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Sumit Khanna 2007-12-12 14:42:44 UTC]

I'm using gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre7

revdep-rebuild runs and finds broken packages, but then exits unexpectedly:

 * Cleaning list of packages to rebuild
 * Generated new /root/.revdep-rebuild.4_packages

 * Assigning packages to ebuilds
 * Generated new /root/.revdep-rebuild.4_ebuilds

 * Evaluating package order
 * Nothing to rebuild.
 * (The program should have already quit, so this is a minor bug.)

Reproducible: Always

Output from revdep-rebuild

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-12-12 14:58:59 UTC]

We can't re-emerge non-existant packages removed from the tree over a year ago. Unmerge the xmms cruft, KDE 3.2, KDE 3.3 etc. and wipe the orphaned files manually, sorry.

[Comment 3 Sumit Khanna 2007-12-12 17:58:01 UTC]

Shouldn't revdep-rebuild inform you of this instead of just exiting with :

 * Nothing to rebuild.
 * (The program should have already quit, so this is a minor bug.)

At the very least it should give us an error message about not being able to emerge non-existent packages or some type of useful error of why it's exiting with a code other than 0. 

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-12-12 19:54:39 UTC]

Sigh; as said above, unmerge cruft removed from the tree years ago, we won't fix this.
