Bug 266834 – sys-apps/most-5.0.0a cannot be emerged in Prefix Portage

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2009-04-20 09:16:51 UTC]

Platform is Prefix Portage with gcc 4.2.4-r1 on SUSE 10 Enterprise. The following was obtained in the console log when trying to emerge sys-apps/most:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang.o -o /local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/most-5.0.0a/work/most-5.0.0a/src/objs/chkslang

worksforme.

%% most --version
MOST version 5.0.0 (S-Lang version 2.1.4)

%% emerge -pv most

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/most-5.0.0a  0 kB

does the ebuild pull in slang?

Of course, its a hard dep.

%% equery d slang

sys-apps/most-5.0.0a (>=sys-libs/slang-2.1.3)

Today this works for me too. A bit of a mystery why I had the failure; I tried comparing the console output from emerging sys-libs/slang-2.1.4 on 2009-04-20 (when `emerge most' failed for me) and 2009-03-13 (previous successful emerge of "most"), but I didn't find any significant difference. I did not compare all ACCESS DENIED lines though.

And, for all recent bootstrapped Prefix Portage trees that I have, including the one bootstrapped 2009-04-20, I can manually emerge most-5.0.0a. I will thus re-enable the line in my nightly script that does `emerge sys-apps/most' again.

please reopen if it still fails
