Description René 'Necoro' Neumann 2008-07-09 23:11:10 UTC

Under some circumstances, getmaskingstatus yields an error:

File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 6343, in getmaskingstatus
    settings.setcpv(p, mydb=metadata)
NameError: global name 'p' is not defined

It happens sometimes in Portato (a Portage GUI) and I haven't seen it when running from CLI... but it is really a portage bug nevertheless  ;)

Created attachment 159991 [details, diff]
getmaskingstatus.patch

And this small patch should fix it :)
(not tested, but assumed from reading the code)
