Bug 20975 – has_version detects netpbm wrong plus portage error: transcode-0.6.3 ebuild

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matt Taylor 2003-05-13 18:59:48 UTC]

>>> emerge (3 of 4) media-video/transcode-0.6.3 to /
>>> md5 ;-) transcode-0.6.3.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking transcode-0.6.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/transcode-0.6.3/work

 * Old netbpm (<=9.12)...
>>> Source unpacked.
 * Working directory:

I have >netpbm-9.12...

$ emerge -p netpbm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] media-libs/netpbm-10.11.5-r2  

...And I dont have any other versions...

$ emerge -pC netpbm

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 media-libs/netpbm
    selected: 10.11.5-r2
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.

Heres the part of the ebuild

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}

        if has_version  '>=media-libs/netpbm-9.13'
        then
                einfo "New netbpm (>9.12)..."
                cp ${S}/contrib/subrip/Makefile ${S}/contrib/subrip/Makefile.ori
g
                sed -e 's:-lppm:-lnetpbm:' \
                        ${S}/contrib/subrip/Makefile.orig > ${S}/contrib/subrip/
Makefile
        else
                einfo "Old netbpm (<=9.12)..."
        fi
}


Also, I've never gotten this portage error before
'portage: init: PORTDIR_OVERLAY points to /home/liverbugg/portage which isn't a
directory. Exiting.'
/home/liverbugg/portage is a directory and exists.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge transcode

Actual Results:  
doesn't patch for new netpbm, and gives a portage error

Expected Results:  
should patch.

the compile just finished and it fails with this which I assume is because of the missing patch:

I changed the ebuild to apply the patch and it builds successfully.

[Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-05-14 15:36:44 UTC]

seems to be a portage bug

works here with 2.0.48_pre6

[Comment 4 Matt Taylor 2003-05-26 02:00:03 UTC]

I updated to portage-2.0.48 and it is still detected wrong.

[Comment 5 Matt Taylor 2003-05-26 02:09:50 UTC]

Nevermind...it was due to a problem with my overlay dir being in my homedir but I had enabled the userpriv features and stuff was just dieing when it couldn't read the overlay.  It works right now.

It's strange that it would mess up the detection when it can't read the overlay, I would think it would ignore the overlay if it can't read it and work just based off of the normal portage dir.
