Bug 246451 – sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc14: emerge @security crashes: list index out of range

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Matteo Modesti 2008-11-12 01:49:20 UTC]

Every time I run "emerge @security" portage crashes. I tried both 2.2_rc14 and 2.2_rc13; didn't try any other version.
Here's the output on the shell:

dargor mattemod # emerge @security -pv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 18, in <module>
    retval = _emerge.emerge_main()
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/__init__.py", line 13935, in emerge_main
    myfiles, retval = expand_set_arguments(myfiles, myaction, root_config)
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/__init__.py", line 13770, in expand_set_arguments
    set_atoms = setconfig.getSetAtoms(s)
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/sets/__init__.py", line 146, in getSetAtoms
    myatoms = myset.getAtoms()
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/sets/base.py", line 57, in getAtoms
    self._load()
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/sets/base.py", line 52, in _load
    self.load()
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/sets/security.py", line 44, in load
    self._setAtoms(self._reduce(atomlist))
  File "//usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/sets/security.py", line 49, in _reduce
    cpv = self._portdbapi.match(atom)[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc14 (or rc13)
2. run emerge @security -pv

Created attachment 171498 [details, diff]
use match-all for consistency with portage.glsa.getMinUpgrade()

If this patch is saved as /tmp/match_all.patch then it can be applied as follows:

  patch /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/sets/security.py /tmp/match_all.patch

This patch will probably solve the problem but I'm not 100% sure. Please test and report back.

[Comment 2 Matteo Modesti 2008-11-12 04:43:26 UTC]

The patch works, thanks!

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2008-11-22 05:54:41 UTC]

Thanks for testing. This is fixed in 2.2_rc15.
