This GURU commit[1] on the dev branch causes an exception to be thrown =============================================================================== pkgcheck scan: error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcore/ebuild/atom.py", line 261, in __init__ sf(self, "_cpv", cpv.CPV(self.cpvstr, versioned=bool(self.op))) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcore/ebuild/cpv.py", line 317, in __init__ raise InvalidCPV(cpvstr, f"invalid version '{pkg_chunks[-1]}'") pkgcore.ebuild.errors.InvalidCPV: app-misc/vocabsieve-.4: invalid version '.4' The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/pipeline.py", line 227, in _run self._queue_work(sync_pipes, work_q) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/pipeline.py", line 172, in _queue_work for restrict in unversioned_source.itermatch(restriction): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/sources.py", line 378, in itermatch for pkg in super().itermatch(restrict, **kwargs): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/sources.py", line 247, in itermatch yield from super().itermatch(restrict, raw_pkg_cls=RawCPV, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcore/repository/prototype.py", line 298, in _internal_match for pkg in self._internal_gen_candidates(candidates, **kwargs): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcore/repository/prototype.py", line 295, in _internal_gen_candidates yield from sorter(pkg_filter(pkgs)) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/packages.py", line 41, in __lt__ return self.versioned_atom < other.versioned_atom File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcheck/packages.py", line 33, in versioned_atom return atom.atom(f'={self}') File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/snakeoil/caching.py", line 115, in __call__ instance = super(WeakInstMeta, cls).__call__(*a, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkgcore/ebuild/atom.py", line 263, in __init__ raise errors.MalformedAtom(orig_atom) from e pkgcore.ebuild.errors.MalformedAtom: invalid package atom: '=app-misc/vocabsieve-.4' =============================================================================== 1. I'd expect an error to be output, not an exception to be thrown 2. I only see the commit referencing "6.4", never ".4" [1] https://github.com/gentoo/guru/commit/318009746930e0b83ed39e6b74968f2a44720b1c Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. git clone -b dev git@git.gentoo.org:repo/proj/guru.git 2. git checkout 318009746930e0b83ed39e6b74968f2a44720b1c 3. pkgcheck scan --net
Original commit author identified what's wonky. There's an ebuild with the wrong name present after the package got renamed from ssmtool to vocabsieve. app-misc/vocabsieve/ssmtool-0.6.4.ebuild Hope that helps.
I'd say the exception isn't crazy for what the issue is. The only question is whether pkgcheck would detect such a problem before committing. I think it would but I haven't verified.
