app-admin/python-updater is broken on prefix. It can't find any pythons. This is due to the fact that it's relying on portageq to accept an EROOT of "/" -- probably nobody has updated it since portageq converted from ROOTs to EROOTs. Easily fixed, patch enclosed. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 322621 [details, diff] Secondary python-updater patch for prefix to fix EROOT troubles. Just add this to your ebuild after the original patch, i.e.: ----->8-----> --- a/app-admin/python-updater/python-updater-0.10-r2.ebuild +++ b/app-admin/python-updater/python-updater-0.10-r2.ebuild @@ -33,6 +33,7 @@ epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-only-alias-sed-if-exists.patch epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-prefix.patch + epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-prefix2.patch ebegin "Adjusting to prefix" sed -i \ -e "s:@GENTOO_PORTAGE_EPREFIX@:${EPREFIX}:g" \ <-----8<----- If someone prefers a "squashed" version of these two patches I'd be happy to provide that -- I only did it this way for purposes of clarity during triage however it makes sense for a single prefix patch to exist since prefix.patch and prefix2.patch don't really do anything miraculously different from each other. The patch makes the following changes: o provide the correct hard-coded EROOT argument when invoking portageq (the current code is broken due to an interface change in portageq (ROOT became EROOT, so the hard coded "/"'s were once correct); presumably nobody remembered python-updater's dependency on it and prefix users have found ways to scrape by without it. o likewise, when constructing the dbapi object, pick the one for EPREFIX, not '/'
Thanks, I've merged your patch with the existing one.
