Bug 149576 – TypeError: unsubscriptable object when emerging certain ebuilds using ~cat/pkg

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2006-09-29 19:36:20 UTC]

i've found that Portage 2.1.2_pre1-r4 will give you a traceback when emerging some ebuilds using the ~ syntax.

eg:
# emerge -av ~kde-base/libkpgp-3.5.4

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

examples of packages that trigger this:

  ~net-irc/irssi-0.8.10-r3
  ~kde-base/kopete-3.5.4
  ~kde-base/kwalletmanager-3.5.4-r2
  (looks like all of kde-* actually)

examples of packages that work:

  ~net-irc/bnc-2.9.4
  ~media-libs/libpng-1.2.12-r1
  ~sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r5

Created attachment 98425 [details, diff]
don't try to call best_match_to_list() on "blocks" nodes

This is fixed in svn r4566.
