Bug 96077 – xine-ui emerged but 'emerge xine-ui' states it is NOT

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Attila Stehr 2005-06-14 07:29:19 UTC]

well I have xine-ui emeged
and it works (...somehow -> see bug #96073 if interested :-| )

BUT: when I type 'emerge xine-ui' portage says it's a NEW package

btw: 
I have that problem with some other packages, but do not remember which ones
right now.

just to clear that out:
I do _not_ remove, alter or overwrite any files that 'work with' portage!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -pv --deep --newuse xine-ui
Actual Results:  
magic atti # emerge -pv xine-ui

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

Calculating dependencies  ...done!

Created attachment 61204 [details]
shows portage statement and running xine-ui

Sorry for da big screenshot but 'emerge gimp' fails on my system...

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-06-14 07:48:56 UTC]

you neglected to post `emerge info` like you were told to

also post the output of
ls /var/db/pkg/media-video/
cat /var/db/pkg/media-video/xine-ui-*/SLOT

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-06-14 10:16:38 UTC]

and what does `ls /var/db/pkg/*/*xine-ui*` show

[Comment 5 Attila Stehr 2005-06-14 10:53:25 UTC]

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2005-06-14 10:59:51 UTC]

well that should be a hint as to why portage doesnt think you have it installed

all installed packages are recorded in /var/db/pkg

it isnt recorded on your machine as being installed thus it isnt

[Comment 7 Attila Stehr 2005-06-14 11:17:21 UTC]

I'm sorry but I didn't get the point.
Didn't I install it using 'emerge xine-ui'?
What to do now?!

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2005-06-14 13:14:25 UTC]

re-emerge it

the directory was lost somehow on your machine, theres nothing to be done about it
