• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Ronan Arraes Jardim Chagas 2009-11-03 14:49:09 UTC]

When you try to use world and newworld to update the system in himerge, it doesn't queue packages and shows this message at console:

himerge: src/Browser.hs:521:79-123: Non-exhaustive patterns in lambda

For information, it works with depclean but the message is shown too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge himerge
2. Try to update world

Actual Results:  
The packages that emerge would update isn't beign pulled to queue.

Expected Results:  
The packages that emerge would update should be pulled to queue.

[Comment 1 Ronan Arraes Jardim Chagas 2009-11-03 14:58:36 UTC]

I found the problem.
When I try to emerge world, VirtualBox-bin is about to be updated.
Portage shows the line:

[ebuild I   U ] app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.0.10 [3.0.8] USE="additions chm python%* -headless -sdk -vboxwebsrv" 49,490 kB

And, for some reason, himerge isn't handle well the I in [ebuild I   U ]. When I masked this package, then himerge works fine.

[Comment 2 Lennart Kolmodin (RETIRED) 2010-08-06 21:55:38 UTC]

himerge indirectly depended on xulrunner-1.8 which is no longer available in
portage. see bug #282162
gtk2hs which himerge also depended on does not support the new xulrunner-1.8,
and the gtk2hs team suggests to move to webkit instead.

As a consequence himerge has been removed from portage, thus this bug has to be
closed.
