See subject. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download a fetch-restricted file to some path listed in $PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS. In my example I provided instantclient-{basic,sdk}-linux-x86-64-10.2.0.3-20070103.zip in /mnt/portage/distfiles 2. emerge --pretend or --ask the package that needs those files (i.e. dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-r1) 3. actually do the merge 4. repeat step 2, compare results Actual Results: Both emerges succeed, however the first one wrongly lists the package as having an unsatisfied fetch restriction: 1st run: # emerge -av oracle-instantclient-basic These are the packages that would be merged, in order: [ebuild N F ] dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-r1 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB Fetch Restriction: 1 package (1 unsatisfied) Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-r1 >>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-r1 Please note that despite the mention of an unsatisfied fetch restriction, the merge will succeed and create the corresponding symlinks in $DISTDIR 2nd run (symlinks in $DISTDIR exist from first run): # emerge -pv oracle-instantclient-basic These are the packages that would be merged, in order: [ebuild Rf ] dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-r1 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB Fetch Restriction: 1 package Expected Results: The fetch restriction should be recognized as satisfied even if only on $PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS to match up with the successful merge. # emerge --info Portage 2.2.0_alpha29 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5-jmb x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r5-jmb-x86_64-Dual-Core_AMD_Opteron-tm-_Processor_2218-with-gentoo-2.0.2 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 09:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-lang/python: 2.6.6-r2, 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.8.0 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.36.1 (sys-kernel/linux-headers) Repositories: gentoo jmb Installed sets: @jmb-virt ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8-sse3 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8-sse3 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=3.0" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs candy distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j -l3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/portage/repo/gentoo" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/portage/repo/jmb" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl amd64 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cxx dri fortran gdbm gpm iconv ipv6 jpeg kerberos ldap lzma mmx modules mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pam_krb5 pcre perl png pppd python readline sasl session smp snmp sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd threads udev unicode vim-syntax xattr xml xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="x86_64" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="dummy fbdev glint intel mach64 mga neomagic nouveau nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident v4l vesa via vmware" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS # portageq envvar PORTAGE_RO_DISTDIRS /mnt/portage/distfiles
