emerge won't build mozilla

Hey,

I'm having quite a strange problem here. I guess it's a problem in the portage tree, but I'm not sure.

# emerge rsync
# emerge mozilla
Calculating dependencies \
!!! Error: couldn't find match for : in net-www/mozilla-1.0-r3

and mozilla-1.0-r3 is not masked:

# less /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask | grep mozilla
=net-www/mozilla-1.0
#=net-www/mozilla-1.0-r2
=net-www/mozilla-1.0_rc3-r2
=net-www/mozilla-1.0_rc3-r50
=net-www/mozilla-1.0_rc3-r51

And "emerge --clean rsync" doesn't help either. So my guess is that there is something wrong with the portage tree. I tried to fix it by deleting it and downloading a new one, but the problem remains.

Also note that I didn't specify that I wanted mozilla-1.0-r3, emerge picked it itself.

Any ideas? Maybe you could try the same (or, --pretend

) and tell me if you have the same problem.

Same problem here. Ran into it doing an emerge -p --update world this morning, and I took the same steps you did. Looks like something in the ebuild(?) is borked. Hopefully someone will take notice and an rsync will fix it.

I emerged mozilla 1.0-r3 yesterday with no problems.

That's all well and good, but a lot changes in the portage tree in 24 hours.

OK, so it seems to be a problem in the portage tree. Probably they'll fix it within a day or so. If not I'll file a bugreport.

Looks like a stray newline in the ebuild. Try running "emerge rsnyc --clean".

Well I had the exact same problem, until I updated portage to 2.0.11 as for a simple fix just do:

Thanx AutoBot!
