Bug 497526 – sys-apps/portage-2.2.7 ignores some binpackages when invoked with "--usepkg y" option

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Coacher 2014-01-08 14:38:55 UTC]

Hello.

Portage ignores some binary packages when invoked with "--usepkg y" option, i.e. it re-emerges them from sources rather than emerging them from binary. Binary package is in /var/portage/packages and entry is present in /var/portage/packages/Packages.

Here is a list of packages that affected:

virtual/libiconv-0
virtual/libffi-3.0.11
media-libs/freetype-2.4.11:2
x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.1.1
x11-proto/dri2proto-2.8
media-libs/flac-1.2.1-r3
x11-proto/glproto-1.4.16

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge any package from the list with "--buildpkg y"
2. re-emerge the same package with "--usepkg y"
Actual Results:  
The said package is re-emerged from sources.

Expected Results:  
The said packages is re-emerged from binary.

If you need any other info I'll provide it.

Please fix.

Please post the output the "--usepkg y" command with --debug added.

Hmm, I've noticed this bug during world set rebuild (emerge -bk1ev world). This is not reproducible if I simply do "emerge -pk1v package", where package is any of the packages mentioned above.

Also, this is not 100% reproducible if I run "emerge -pk1ev package", where package is one of the packages mentioned above. Sometimes the said package is marked as being emerged from binary, sometimes not.

I'll attach some example emerge outputs without --debug, as it produce too much output. If later you need some output with --debug I'll attach it as well.

It's not useful without --debug. You'll need to compress the output and attach it. Would be nice to get one run where it takes a binary and one where it doesn't.

Oops, I've already attached it without --debug. Will reattach now.

Here virtual/libffi is picked up as binary.

Sorry I didn't notice that you're using 2.2.7. That's most likely bug 485920. Please update to portage-2.2.8.

flac itself is picked up as a binary, though.

Hmm, I'll try to upgrade and give you the results though there are no multilib problems on my system as in bug you've mentioned.

Yes, upgrading to portage-2.2.8 solves this issue.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hope to see new stable version of portage in the near future.
