scim-chinese.0.2.2-1 and scim-chinese.0.2.3-1 can not be merged correctly unless you have rpm installed, although these two ebuild all inherit from rpm. adding rpm to their depends works well for me Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
hmm .. the rpm.eclass depends on rpm2targz which should be inherited. it doesn't use the rpm package but rpmoffset from rpm2targz. which version of portage do you have?
my portage version is 2.0.48-r1 rpm2targz had been installed, but it seems the standard unpack function of rpm uses rpm2cpio rather than rpmoffset
it uses rpm2cpio if it detects it because it is more reliable than rpmoffset. which version of rpm2targz do you have?
rpm2targz 8.0 I just notice that the newest version is 9.0-r1. Can this one solve my problem without needing to install rpm?
yes. that version works. i'm waiting on all the other archs to mark it stable so rpm.eclass can use the latest version.
the new rpm.eclass had been committed with the updated dependency.
