Please post your emerge info or emerge -v info and try this to see on what package it breaks:

Alright, thanks for the reply. I uncommented the lines and it seems that it fails on the games-util/qstat package (at least, that's the last thing it prints out).

Output from gtk+:

sorry but... i'm a noob and don't know how i can patch portage with the .diff file... i'd really want to test this...
i downloaded the diff and upgraded portage to 51-pre20 and now? thx

So in both cases on >=games-util/qstat-25. Humm... I'll test it.

>=games-util/qstat-25

There's no such package, actually. There's a games-util/qstat-2.6 and games-util/qstat-2.5c in the tree, but nothing like games-util/qstat-25. Trying to emerge it, which should normally give an error message saying you should append a '=', it outputs this error message:

Yeah, sorry, my mistake. -p1 should be there. But it shouldn't matter. Anyway, just to make sure, redo that please without the flag -p1.

For that you can do following:

Sorry all, but I've been out of the loop for a while, and kinda lost this thread.

rcxAsh: that's an interesting problem. It does seem to choke on some dep atoms that are otherwise accepted, and I can't quite work out why, since it uses Portage's existing atom matching functions.

As for dying on non-existant ebuilds, it definitely shouldn't, but I can't see how it would at the moment. The revdep code doesn't even look in the portage tree. I'm on a different computer at the moment, but I'll have a look at that as soon as I get back.

Oh, and for patching it, I usually do

Hmm, the patch (v5) gives a bunch of error messages on my system:

The latest patch is against 2.0.51_pre20, so it probably won't apply cleanly to .50. Those two rejects are fairly simple to fix though-- just open up emerge in an editor, remove the lines with a '-' next to them, and add the ones with a '+'.

Try to fix the rejects per hand, it shouldn't be hard. If you can't cope that, just give me a note. thebell could, however, have a solution, since it's his work.

Seems like this thread has been quiet for a good long while now.

But if anyone is still reading it, I was curious about when something like this would make into the offical emerge program?

I think its a neat and insanely useful feature, so I would really like to use it full time.

Thanks.

ecoffey, read spb's last post. portage 2.1 seems to be the thing (to come).
