Description Guilherme Amadio gentoo-dev

I keep getting the message below when using emerge. I have a fresh install of prefix, so I don't know why it's happening. Portage functions normally, though.

The message always appears right after running eautoreconf on an emerge:

!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf has name different from repository name 'gentoo_prefix' set inside repository

Not all packages produce this message. Try emerging media-libs/gd, for example.

The only repos.conf I have in the system was created by portage at:
$EPREFIX/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf


Reproducible: Sometimes

can you post the contents of that file?  ($EPREFIX/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf)

Created attachment 357264 [details]
repos.conf

This is the contents of my repos.conf. It belongs to portage.

@Zac: looks like we nowhere reference "gentoo", is there a default hardwired into portage somewhere?

Other than, $EPREFIX/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf, also check $EPREFIX/etc/portage/repos.conf. It's not hardwired anywhere.

It's at ${EPREFIX}/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf

I have the impresion Arfrever fixed this in 2.2.4+

Comment 7 Guilherme Amadio gentoo-dev

I just tested this and I still see the message on portage 2.2.4. Try emerging media-libs/gd, for example, and watching for the message to appear right after eautoreconf is run.

I can provide more information on my system if needed.

I see this happening too

This warning sticks for some reason, but it doesn't seem to harm (yet).

Comment 10 Guilherme Amadio gentoo-dev

FWIW, commenting out the 'aliases = gentoo' line in ${EPREFIX}/usr/portage/metadata/layout.conf makes these annoying messages go away.
