Gentoo now supports "stacked profiles" that is, the profiles that follow the new layout of the /usr/portage/profiles directory, for instance /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3 (supported by Portage 2.0.51 or later). Ufed expects certain files to be in "/etc/make.profile" (symlink pointing to the selected profile) for example: "use.defaults" or "use.mask". Because of the new stacked profiles these files may be defined in some of the parent directories of the profile. So ufed can't open these files and fails! (A possible solution is to try opening the file in the selected profile directory. If the file isn't there, move to the parent dir and try opening it there. If that fails go to the next parent dir and so on and so on.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
already fixed. try emerging the ~x86 version by adding this to /etc/portage/package.keywords: =app-portage/ufed-0.35-r1 ~x86
I am also suffering from this bug. I upgraded to 0.35-r1, and here are the results I get: tom root # qpkg -I -v ufed app-portage/ufed-0.35-r1 * tom root # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved tom root # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved tom root # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved tom root # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved tom root # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved Sometimes I can run it, and it works, but most times it just comes back with this error.
I can confirm that behaviour ufed-0.35-r1, What info might be relevant/do you need? root@thinkpad roger # ufed ESC pressed, changes not saved root@thinkpad roger # root@thinkpad roger # qpkg -I -v perl sys-devel/libperl-5.8.2 * dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1 * dev-perl/TermReadKey-2.21 * dev-perl/DBI-1.38 * dev-perl/Storable-2.07-r1 * dev-perl/Net-Daemon-0.37 * dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.1027 * dev-perl/PlRPC-0.2016-r1 * dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.34 * dev-perl/perl-tk-804.027 * dev-perl/SGMLSpm-1.03-r5 * dev-perl/Time-Duration-1.02 * root@thinkpad roger # qpkg -I -v ufed app-portage/ufed-0.35-r1 * root@thinkpad roger # emerge -V Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.9 i686) root@thinkpad roger #
