Bug 249976 – app-portage/portage-utils-0.1.29: qlist doesn't give slot information for package in different ROOT

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pascal Poudrier 2008-12-05 21:10:52 UTC]

with portage 2.2_RC16, I can get slot information from package on the main system with the following command : qlist -S (give every packages installed and their slots).

If I do the same but in a different root :
ROOT=/vservers/test qlist -S, I only get installed packages without their slot.

Thank's

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
no package slots is given

Expected Results:  
Should give packages slots

try again with a trailing slash on ROOT variable like ROOT=/foo/ qlist -CLS

Yes, it's working.

It is the right way to use a different ROOT ? I mean to always put a trailing slash ?

I use ROOT since at least 3 years and I never had to do that before.

Thanks

Hi, sorry for this long delay, I was very busy. Can you guide me on how can I apply this patch with portage ?

thanks

should be fixed with newer versions already in the tree at this point
