Description Chris L. Mason 2004-10-09 12:37:47 UTC

Most qpkg commands seem to work okay, but -f fails.  For example:

$ qpkg -f /usr/include/libintl.h 
xargs: -n: No such file or directory

It looks like an incompatibility with the macosx xargs.

Try http://dev.gentoo.org/~usata/misc/qpkg-macos.patch.
(It was posted to gentoo-osx list a while ago.)

Comment 2 Chris L. Mason 2004-10-09 14:59:48 UTC

Yes, the same patch seems to fix both this and bug #66910.

Thanks.

qpkg and etcat are deprecated, please use equery instead.

Comment 4 Chris L. Mason 2004-10-10 16:01:44 UTC

So, if they are deprecated, should they not be removed from the package?  So long as they are in the package, isn't this a valid bug?

(in any event, is there any reason not to apply the patch?)

Thanks.

Comment 5 Chris L. Mason 2004-10-10 16:03:52 UTC

Btw, equery doesn't appear ready.  It has no man page, and lots of stuff is marked "unimplemented"

qpkg is deprecated, I won't fix it anymore and will likely remove/replace it
after gentoolkit-0.2.0.
