Description Alan Hourihane 2013-11-07 11:05:00 UTC

When I tried a git cvsimport command I got this error....

Can't exec "cvsps": No such file or directory at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport line 756, <GEN0> line 3.
Could not start cvsps: No such file or directory
git cvsimport: fatal: cvsps reported error

I've now emerged dev-vcs/cvsps manually and it's working fine.

What version of git do you have installed? Do you have the "cvs" USE flag enabled? That flag adds dev-vcs/cvsps to the dependencies of dev-vcs/git.

Comment 2 Alan Hourihane 2013-11-07 13:37:55 UTC

Yes, the "cvs" USE flag is set, and the version of git is dev-vcs/git-1.8.3.2-r1.

Hmmm. I guess some other dependency may have been screwed up.

I'll close this for now and investigate.
