A stage1 run of catalyst places build.py in /tmp and runs it to get the list of packages to be emerged into /tmp/stage1root. The script looks over merged list of 'packages' and 'packages.build' from all layers of the profile stack as given by portage.settings.profiles. The set coming from 'packages' contains initial *'s as described in man 5 portage. However, when this list is merged with the list obtained from 'packages.build', a for loop runs the following at line 30 of build.py: portage.dep_getkey(pkgs[idx]) This always throws and exception because of the leading '*' making the purpose of the entire loop from 28-35 useless. Solution: if pkgs[idx][0] == '*': pkgs[idx][1:]. Since we've live with this issue for a while (ie we haven't decorated our atoms with the correct < > = prefix operators or version numbers), I wonder if we even need it. Reproducible: Always

Hmm, if I'm thinking straight this morning... original code: for idx in range(0, len(pkgs)): try: bidx = buildpkgs.index(portage.dep_getkey(pkgs[idx])) buildpkgs[bidx] = pkgs[idx] if buildpkgs[bidx][0:1] == "*": buildpkgs[bidx] = buildpkgs[bidx][1:] except: pass My variation of your solution: for idx in range(0, len(pkgs)): pkg = pkgs[idx].lstrip('*') try: bidx = buildpkgs.index(portage.dep_getkey(pkg)) buildpkgs[bidx] = pkg except: pass is correct?
yep that works. i just tested. for example, the old code used to give buildpkgs = [ .... 'sys-apps/baselayout' ... ] while your code gives buildpkgs = [ .... '>=sys-apps/baselayout-2' .... ] So some of our stage1's were probably wrong when we did the baselayout 1 -> 2 migration, and maybe some other packages were wrong too. On amd64, sys-devel/patch was also wrong. On the plus side, none of this probably got to our stage3's.
Change pushed in 2.X, will cherrypick to master soon.
Is this still an issue? This never made it to master/3.x
