Bug 131160 – qmail-1.03-r16 ebuild config is ambiguous

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description joe cave 2006-04-24 15:53:48 UTC]

There are now 2 qmail ebuilds (mail-mta/qmail and virtual/qmail). After completing  emerge of mail-mta/qmail you are advised to:

 * To setup qmail to run out-of-the-box on your system, run:
 * emerge --config =qmail-1.03-r16

The config in this case is ambiguous and will return:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2817, in ?
    pkgs = portage.db[portage.root]["vartree"].dbapi.match(myfiles[0])
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4822, in match
    mydep=dep_expand(origdep,mydb=self,use_cache=use_cache)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3768, in dep_expand
    return prefix+cpv_expand(mydep,mydb=mydb,use_cache=use_cache)+postfix
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3712, in cpv_expand
    raise ValueError, matches
ValueError: ['mail-mta/qmail', 'virtual/qmail']

The post-emerge notice needs to be the fully-qualified ebuild name. In my case, it would be:

 * emerge --config =mail-mta/qmail-1.03-r16
