Bug 21703 – recent version of emerge breaks kportage

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Alexander Papaspyrou 2003-05-26 05:23:19 UTC]

Since the last update of the portage package, the default behaviour of emerge breaks the 
graphical package manager "kportage" (app-admin/kportage). 
 
As far as I could track it down, there is a problem with the new "set xterm title" emerge 
feature. When activating this feature (which seems to be the default), an rsync call from within 
kportage fails immediately: 
 
--8<-- snip --8<-- 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 279, in ? 
    emergelog("Started emerge on: "+time.strftime("%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S", 
time.localtime())) 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 186, in emergelog 
    xtermTitle(mystr) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/output.py", line 34, in xtermTitle 
    myt=os.environ["TERM"] 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/UserDict.py", line 14, in __getitem__ 
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key] 
KeyError: TERM 
Error in sys.exitfunc: 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/atexit.py", line 20, in _run_exitfuncs 
    apply(func, targs, kargs) 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 201, in emergeexit 
    emergelog(" *** terminating.") 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 186, in emergelog 
    xtermTitle(mystr) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/output.py", line 34, in xtermTitle 
    myt=os.environ["TERM"] 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/UserDict.py", line 14, in __getitem__ 
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key] 
KeyError: TERM 
-->8-- snap -->8-- 
 
Unfortunately, even when turning off the status update by saying "FEATURES=<myfeatures> 
notitles", the following happens after the rsync process itself is complete: 
 
--8<-- snip --8<-- 
Error in sys.exitfunc: 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/atexit.py", line 20, in _run_exitfuncs 
    apply(func, targs, kargs) 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 202, in emergeexit 
    xtermTitle(os.environ["TERM"]) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/UserDict.py", line 14, in __getitem__ 
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key] 
KeyError: TERM 
-->8-- snap -->8-- 
 
Please fix this -- or write a kpackage plugin for portage ;) -- as the most useful feature of 
kportage is the "what's new" overview after running emerge sync... 
 
Thanks in advance. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install app-admin/kportage 
2. Update to the most recent version of portage/emerge 
3. From within kportage, run emerge sync 
4. Edit /etc/make.conf: add "notitles" to the FEATURES variable 
5. Restart kportage and try again 
Actual Results:  
kportage fails to sync regardless how "FEATURES" is set. 

Expected Results:  
At least when saying "FEATURES=<myfeatures> notitles", kportage should work correctly.

Created attachment 12575 [details, diff]
Fix for the stated bug

This is a (trivial) fix for the borked behaviour of emerge with kportage. Note
that I wasn't sure about the diff format you use, so I tried "diff -u". It
seems that the portage dev team just forgot to check the "notitles" FEATURE in
the emergeexit() function. Please review the patch, notify me and incorporate
it to portage ASAP.

Regards,
Alexander Papaspyrou

[Comment 3 Alexander Papaspyrou 2003-06-08 07:49:33 UTC]

The issues described by this bug report have been addressed to in the recent version 
of portage, which is 2.0.48-r1. 
 
After some testing, I am quite sure that the stated problems have been fixed. I would 
suggest to mark this bug as resolved/fixed.

I am using Kportage 0.6.1, KDE 3.1.2, and Portage 2.0.48-R1. Emerge sync works fine. 
However when emerging multiple programs/files, kportage will go into a loop at the end 
of the processe using almost 100% of system resources. I then need to kill kportage.
