Description Sylvain Meilard 2003-05-23 19:02:50 UTC
I was looking for packages dealing with flash card, so i type in : 'emerge -S
flash'. Portage than printed a list of 5 packages :
 media-libs/libflash, net-www/gplflash, net-www/netscape-flash,
media-libs/libswf-0.99, media-libs/ming-0.2a
but after the fourth and the fifth (libswf and ming), it printed also this message :
!!! There has been an error. Please report this via IRC or bugs.gentoo.org
!!! mycpv:   media-libs/libswf-0.99-0.99
!!! mysplit: ['media-libs', 'libswf-0.99-0.99']
!!! psplit:  None
!!! error:   unsubscriptable object

!!! Exception: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

and :

Don't worry about my SYNC variables : 'asm' is the machine of my lan i sync to
gentoo's official sync mirrors, and then i sync the others on asm.
In fact, i sync /opt/portage :
root@asm root # /opt/gentoo-rsync/rsync-gentoo-portage.sh
and then /usr/portage :
root@asm root # emerge sync

and emerge always tells me to report the bug

'emerge -s ming' and 'emerge -p ming' occur whith no problem (didn't check for
libswf)
I don't use ming, but i tried to merge it anyway, and here also, no problem (i
was thinking it could be a problem in the ming (or libswf) ebuild, but if i can
emerge it, i suppose i was wrong)
