Bug 118124 – gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre1 - "not a valid package atom" with revdep-rebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Stephane Loeuillet 2006-01-06 18:33:48 UTC]

updating my system to dbus 0.60.x, i had lots of things to recompile, so i checked with revdep-rebuild

one line was :
  broken /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/uri (requires  libdbus-1.so.1)

and the final result was :
emerge --oneshot  =app-office/criawips-0.0.11 ... =media-gfx/gimp-2.3.5USE="X%pdf%-postscript%" =media-video/totem-1.3.0 ...
..........
Calculating dependencies /

!!! '=media-gfx/gimp-2.3.5USE="X%pdf%-postscript%"' is not a valid package atom.

portage : 2.1_pre3-r1
gentoolkit : 0.2.2_pre1

those 3 USE flags are the one that did not exist when i last built gimp 2.3.5

The new format means the parsing has to change for revdep to process.

What version of gentoolkit do you have installed?

emerge's --columns option gives better output for parsing.

Proposed patch to revdep-rebuild

This is caused by emerge in portage-2.1 changing behavior and printing new USE flags even when --verbose has not been specified.

I will fix this issue with gentoolkit-0.2.2.  This does mean that revdep-rbuild in gentoolkit-0.2.1 will be broken if used with portage-2.1. Additionally if portage-2.1 retains this behavior and is ready to go stable, gentoolkit-0.2.2 will also have to go stable at the same time if it hasn't been stabilized at that point already.

Fixed in gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre2

Easier fix would have been to add --quiet to the options...
