Description Rafał Mużyło 2011-05-31 21:56:45 UTC
If an installed ebuild is removed from the tree, 'equery l' lists it with '[??]' annotation, but 'equery l -p' lists only in-tree packages, giving a false impression of package not being installed.
Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2011-07-31 12:44:44 UTC
OK, let's change it from "slightly broken" to just "broken".

ls /usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript-gpl/*.ebuild

[--O] [ ~] app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.01:0
[I-O] [  ] app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.02:0

That's definitely *not* an expected result.
Looking at the sources, it would seem that it's just listing, that's broken.
If I read the things correctly, in pym/gentoolkit/equery/list_.py, in main(input_args), in 'for pkg in matches' loop, two loop breaking conditions before pp.uprint(pkgstr) incorrectly skip installed packages if they are i.e. no longer in the tree. Note, that if '-l -p' is passed, output is correct, as that negates both of those conditions.
Comment 2 Carsten Milkau 2014-10-17 16:16:38 UTC
Addition: note that even equery -p -i refuses to list packages that have left the tree, which is definitely wrong.

patch that sems to fix this problem

TBH, I've just about forgotten I've filed this bug - it's been a few years, after all.

If I understand the current logic correctly, this patch should fix the problem.

It's against 0.3.0.8-r2 - haven't checked ~0.3.0.9.
Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2014-10-22 03:20:17 UTC
A little note: reading both the code and my patch a bit more, it becomes clear, that the logic of my patch is wrong, but in this particular context still leads to the correct output.

It simply comes down to the fact, that if '-I' is passed to 'equery l', the query results that go into that patched lop already won't contain installed packages.

Sorry again, panicked flailing after not visiting this bug for years, this patch *does* the same thing as the previous one.
Comment 8 Rafał Mużyło 2023-02-26 21:36:21 UTC
...that's what happens when you forget what you were fixing: I've actually been using a different patch for quite awhile before the formatting changes and the newly attached version is the update of that patch, not the older patch in this bug. :sigh:
