Bug 49090 – "emerge -UDfp world" doesn't show all files to be downloaded

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description norbert kamenicky 2004-04-26 18:26:48 UTC]

I had to update/upgrade some gentoo box which wasn't on internet ASAP.
Therefore I copied /usr/portage tree from my PC and run "emerge -UDfp world"
to get the list of files to copy too. I copied them and run "emerge -UDf world"
to be sure nothing was forgotten ... emerge started to download plenty of files
which were not listed if with --pretend flag.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -UDfp world >/dev/null 2>list1.tmp
2. sed 's#^.*/##' list1.tmp|sort|uniq >list1
3. copy all files from list1 to /usr/portage distfiles
4. emerge -UDf world

Actual Results:  
emerge from step 4. downloads files, which were not listed in step 1.


Expected Results:  
emerge from step 4. should say all af files were previously fetched

I tried the required steps as you showed above.  The exact same portage version was used as well.  One thing I will mention, as developers have cautioned against using the -U flag, I used `emerge -uDfp world` and `emerge -uDf world` instead.

Following the procedure:

1) I got the list of files that would be downloaded by the -f argument.  

2) After the list was compiled, I changed the /usr/portage/distfiles directory

3) I manually downloaded all the files in the list into /usr/portage distfiles

4) I did `emerge -uDf world` and for all the files that I downloaded I recieved:

>>> python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz
>>> emerge (2 of 7) app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r4 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz
>>> emerge (3 of 7) net-mail/mailwrapper-0.1 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: mailwrapper-0.1.tbz2 MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) mailwrapper-0.1.tbz2
>>> emerge (4 of 7) net-mail/ssmtp-2.60.7 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: ssmtp_2.60.7.tar.gz MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) ssmtp_2.60.7.tar.gz
>>> emerge (5 of 7) net-misc/curl-7.11.0 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: curl-7.11.0.tar.bz2 MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) curl-7.11.0.tar.bz2
>>> emerge (6 of 7) media-libs/libmikmod-3.1.11 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: libmikmod-3.1.11.tar.gz MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) libmikmod-3.1.11.tar.gz
>>> emerge (7 of 7) app-text/texi2html-1.64-r1 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: texi2html-1.64.tar.gz MD5 ;-)
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) texi2html-1.64.tar.gz

only issue being python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz which I forgot to download but was still on the list.

As is such, I am unable to verify this as a valid bug.

Duplicate it somehow, produce the data, and reopen the bug.
