Trying to run glsa-check -f all, I get a traceback as follows: fixing 200408-13 auxdb exception: [/usr/portage::kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.0]: u'No key provided. key: kdelibs-3.2.0' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 162, in ? mergelist = myglsa.getMergeList() File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 565, in getMergeList self.packages[pkg]["unaff_atoms"]) File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/glsa.py", line 324, in getMinUpgrade mylist = portage.db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.match(u) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5118, in match return self.xmatch("match-visible",mydep) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5105, in xmatch myval=match_from_list(mydep,self.xmatch("list-visible",None,mydep=mydep,mykey=mykey)) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5091, in xmatch myval=self.gvisible(self.visible(self.cp_list(mykey))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 5189, in gvisible myaux=db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mycpv, ["KEYWORDS"]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4916, in aux_get myret=doebuild(myebuild,"depend","/",self.mysettings,dbkey=mydbkey) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2118, in doebuild mysettings["EBUILD"] = ebuild_path File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1398, in __setitem__ raise ValueError("Invalid type being used as a value: '%s': '%s'" % (str(mykey),str(myvalue))) ValueError: Invalid type being used as a value: 'EBUILD': '/usr/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.2.0.ebuild' self.configdict["env"][mykey]=myvalue Which is from this method: def __setitem__(self,mykey,myvalue): "set a value; will be thrown away at reset() time" if type(myvalue) != types.StringType: raise ValueError("Invalid type being used as a value: '%s': '%s'" % (str(mykey),str(myvalue))) self.modifying() self.modifiedkeys += [mykey] self.configdict["env"][mykey]=myvalue would be useful to use either %r for the formatters and drop the str() calls (so you can see the closer-to-source-code representation. i.e. something like this: raise ValueError("Invalid type %s being used as a value: %r: %r" % ( myvalue.__class__.__name__, mykey,myvalue)) which then gives the message that the type being used for value is "unicode". BTW, IIRC it's now considered proper to use isinstance( value, str ) or isinstance( value, (str,unicode)) for these kinds of checks, though that won't work for Python 1.5.2, so that may be the reason for using the types.StringType comparison. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. glsa-check -f all Actual Results: Multiple packages report "fixing %date", then traceback from portage.py, seems to be rolling back the changes, as the same dates are reported before the failure each time.
