 |
|
For some strange reason I get this error when I run ufed.
| Code: | ufed
ERROR: insufficient parameters! |
It starts, but I think this might be a bug in the program or something of that nature.
Thanks for the help. |

What version is ufed?
You should run /usr/sbin/ufed as normal user and get the:
| Code: | | WARNING: ufed will run in read-only-mode! |
or you risk overwriting USE flags by chance.

I got the latest version installed.
| Code: | app-portage/ufed
Latest version available: 0.91
Latest version installed: 0.91
Size of files: 60 kB

re-installing this version does not change anything. |

Is it all ok with dev-lang/perl-5.20, do you have app-admin/perl-cleaner?
At line #22 in /usr/share/ufed/Portage.pm try set DEBUG => 1 and run
Can you look there, where/how does it stop? |

Why would this be a perl problem?
I got this version installed.
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] dev-lang/perl-5.18.2-r2:0/5.18 USE="berkdb gdbm -debug -doc -ithreads" 0 kB |

That is really strange. I currently try to reproduce it.
As a user, I get: | Code: | ~ $ /usr/sbin/ufed
WARNING: /etc/portage/make.conf not writable by uid/gid 1000/1000
WARNING: ufed will run in read-only-mode! |
And as root I get: | Code: | ~ $ sudo ufed
Passwort:
Cancelled, not saving changes. |
This is how it should be on your system, too...
Please note: It must be /usr/sbin/ufed! If you have an "ufed" in /usr/bin/, you could try to find out where it comes from using "equery b /usr/bin/ufed".
Edit: My perl version installed: | Code: | | Installed versions: 5.18.2-r2(12:04:23 27.10.2014)(berkdb doc gdbm ithreads -debug) |

It is in the correct location. I don't change paths in ebuilds.
This is a bug in version 0.91, since I downgraded back to version 0.40.2 and this error does not happen when I run it. Then it behaves normally. |

I can not find any reference to "ERROR: insufficient parameters!". Both the 0.91 and the live version work fine here and we have the same perl version.
So I would really like to find out what is causing that.
Just a question, do you have "app-portage/eix" installed? Because if that is missing, there might be a problem with my detection code.

No. I don't have it installed.
| Code: | emerge eix -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Ok, my detection code is broken.
I have added a new bug #527252 as a reminder to myself.
As there is an additional issue with the current eix-0.91, I hope to get a fixed version 0.92 out next week.

Good to know. I will update to the new version when it is ready. 
Note on the bug report. Ufed did run, it just took a while to do so (up to 10 - 20 seconds), but the error appeared when I started the program.
Thanks for the help. |

Damn, I never knew you were the ufed guy; kudos.
Though it does explain why I've found your writing so sane. |

I have updated the live version. Could you please test it whether the error persists?

Thank you for your feedback!
One other issue has to be resolved, than I will tag a new version.

Sorry that I did not see this. I was just pinged via Bug 527252.
I just uninstalled eix, and ufed-0.92 works like a charm with latest portage.
I need more information to be able to reproduce the issue.
If eix isn't present, ufed uses /usr/bin/portageq, which is part of portage and should always be present.[/bug]

The question is: What bug? What exactly do you see?
