• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2014-09-08 06:24:42 UTC]

# cat /etc/portage/env/A
USE="static-libs"
# cat /etc/portage/package.env/A
sys-apps/dbus A
# emerge -Opv sys-apps/dbus

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/dbus-1.8.6::gentoo  USE="X static-libs* -debug -doc -selinux -systemd {-test}" ABI_MIPS="(-n32) (-n64) (-o32)" ABI_PPC="(-32) (-64)" ABI_S390="(-32) (-64)" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
# emerge -Opv sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R    ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.42.12::gentoo  USE="nls -static-libs" ABI_MIPS="(-n32) (-n64) (-o32)" ABI_PPC="(-32) (-64)" ABI_S390="(-32) (-64)" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
# emerge -Opv sys-apps/dbus sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R    ] sys-apps/dbus-1.8.6::gentoo  USE="X static-libs* -debug -doc -selinux -systemd {-test}" ABI_MIPS="(-n32) (-n64) (-o32)" ABI_PPC="(-32) (-64)" ABI_S390="(-32) (-64)" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB
[ebuild   R    ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.42.12::gentoo  USE="nls static-libs*" ABI_MIPS="(-n32) (-n64) (-o32)" ABI_PPC="(-32) (-64)" ABI_S390="(-32) (-64)" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB

See how static-libs is incorrectly enabled for sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs in the last command.

Created attachment 384382 [details, diff]
config.setcpv: fix bug #522362

Fix config.setcpv to regenerate USE settings in order to account for package.env USE settings from the previous package instance.
