Bug 211554 – man-pages-it wants to be unmerged by emerge --depclean

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andrea Brandi 2008-02-26 18:59:55 UTC]

I want to keep man-pages-it package, that is selected by LINGUAS="it" setting and nls USE flag in man-pages. But every time emerge --depclean mark it for unmerge.

emerge man-pages instead, mark it for reinstalling.

starbook # emerge -epv man-pages | grep man-pages-it
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/man-pages-it-2.65  0 kb

starbook # emerge --depclean -p
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 app-i18n/man-pages-it
    selected: 2.65
   protected: none
     omitted: none

starbook ~ # equery depends man-pages-it
[ Searching for packages depending on man-pages-it... ]
sys-apps/man-pages-2.76 (nls & linguas_it? app-i18n/man-pages-it)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable USE="nls" and LINGUAS="it"
2. emerge man-pages
2. emerge --depclean -p

Not a portage bug.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-26 19:11:18 UTC]

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 136953 ***

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2008-02-26 19:47:14 UTC]

BTW, this behavior is new in portage-2.1.4. There are some special cases for USE_EXPAND_HIDDEN flags, forced flags, and a few other misc flags that aren't required in IUSE. Any other flags that aren't explicitly listed in IUSE are now  filtered.

[Comment 4 Zac Medico 2008-02-27 06:48:06 UTC]

In svn r9387 portage is fixed so that the installation and depclean actions will be consistent wrt each other. I also added the appropriate linguas_* flags to IUSE in the man-pages-2.78 ebuild so that it will behave correctly. That's just what has to be done until we have an EAPI bump that includes a fix for bug 133327.

This is fixed in 2.2_pre3.

[Comment 6 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2008-03-20 18:15:05 UTC]

This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.

[Comment 7 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2008-03-20 18:15:50 UTC]

This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.
