In file bin/phase-helpers.sh, function ___best_version_and_has_version_common, there is a case statement: case ${root_arg} in -r) root=${ROOT%/}/${EPREFIX#/} ;; -d) root=${ESYSROOT} ;; -b) root=${BROOT:-/} ;; esac There is no BROOT variable and it causes has_version to fail with 'Invalid ROOT' error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run 'emerge libevdev' in a Gentoo Prefix environment. Actual Results: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-libs/libevdev-1.5.9-r1::gentoo * libevdev-1.5.9.tar.xz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ;-) ... [ ok ] has_version: Invalid ROOT: / * ERROR: dev-libs/libevdev-1.5.9-r1::gentoo failed (setup phase): * has_version: unexpected ebuild-ipc exit code: 3 * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 124: Called pkg_setup * ebuild.sh, line 371: Called python-any-r1_pkg_setup * python-any-r1.eclass, line 353: Called python_setup * python-any-r1.eclass, line 320: Called _python_EPYTHON_supported 'python2.7' * python-any-r1.eclass, line 262: Called python_is_installed 'python2_7' * python-utils-r1.eclass, line 1121: Called has_version '-b' '>=dev-lang/python-2.7.5-r2:2.7' * phase-helpers.sh, line 961: Called ___best_version_and_has_version_common '-b' '>=dev-lang/python-2.7.5-r2:2.7' * phase-helpers.sh, line 946: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "${FUNCNAME[1]}: unexpected ebuild-ipc exit code: ${retval}" * Expected Results: libevdev should be built and installed successfully. It can be worked around by setting BROOT to EROOT in the ebuild.
I've filed bug 665074 for the python eclass(es), since PMS says BROOT is only valid during src_* phases, so calling has_version -b during pkg_setup is invalid.

This makes has/best_version -b in EAPI 7 behave exactly the same as --host-root behaves in EAPI 6, allowing python ebuilds to call python_setup in any ebuild phase.
