Description Alex 2003-10-08 03:50:23 UTC

dep-clean in app-admin/gentoolkit-0.1.31 is unable to retrieve the sysrem
packages list.

Lists the following err:
# dep-clean -v
  [...]
  "Retrieving system packages."
  "sort: open failed: uniq: No such file or directory"
  [...]


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dep-clean -v
2.
3.




At line 152 of /usr/bin/dep-clean, may miss a pipe or uniq is unneeded?

Line 152 is missing the pipe symbol.

The line should read

sort -u | uniq \

not

sort -u uniq \

I just realized that this is a duplicate of #30248  The affected line should
actually read "sort -u \" although putting the pipe in also works as you
are just outputting the same unique output twice :)
