Description Joerg Holzapfel 2004-02-07 02:28:17 UTC

Trying to emerge pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 fails with the following message:

# emerge -p pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1) (try adding an '=')"
#


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -p pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
!!! Problem in sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1) (try adding
an '=')"

Expected Results:  
emerge correctly

This is actually kinda of a portage problem. The syntax for emerging a specific version is :

# emerge -p =pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1

Notice the "=" sign preceding the version you want to emerge.

To get pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 which is marked ~x86, do

# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge =pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1

Thanks Peter, I'll close this one here.
