Description norbert kamenicky 2011-01-13 13:54:47 UTC

epm-1.33 gives false result "is not owned by any package", if logical path is used:

$ epm -qf /usr/lib/libpam.so
file /usr/lib/libpam.so is not owned by any package

$ epm -qf /usr/lib64/libpam.so
pam-1.1.3

i.e. it needs patch for logical -> physical path conversion

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Reassigning to maintainer-needed since package was not being maintained by anyone in tools-portage herd.

Comment 2 Peter Weilbacher 2013-01-23 11:52:55 UTC

The problem demonstrated in comment 0 is actually fixed by the patch I just added to bug 93843:

$ epm -qf /usr/lib/libpam.so     # this is epm-1.33
file /usr/lib/libpam.so is not owned by any package
$ ./epm -qf /usr/lib/libpam.so   # this is the patched epm
pam-1.1.5

Would love to mark this as dupe of bug 93843 but apparently I don't have the rights to do that.
