Paludis support thread (current v. 0.14.3) - Part 1

This thread is getting way too long - every paludis issue I search for, returns just this thread.

Anyway, paludis is telling me this:

grep /et/paludis/use.conf for amd64 and if anything found, remove that useflag (as it does not exist).
If you don't find anything or problem persists after editing, paludis --uninstall cups and paludis --install cups should solve it.

Yeah you likely put something there instead of keywords.conf

I dont know if that's it, but the error seems to show that the package was installed with an invalid use flag, try to look in :
/var/db/pkg/net-print/cups-1.2.6/USE
Maybe there is a stray ~amd64 in that.

Tell ciaran to make one then

A whole bunch more people use kde or gnome or mplayer or bash or gcc or gtk or well, you get the idea. None of them have their own forum. In theory all this discussion should be happened at paludis upstream, but well, we see how well that's working.

Paludis-hooks upgraded to 0.1.8.

Sweet. Sounds like one of those bug fixes is what I need, heh

Anyway, does anyone use prelink with paludis? I started installing prelink, but it failed during the test phase:

About that fail on src_test, check paludis' homepage FAQ, scroll down to Packages failing src_test

I installed portage-utils via the overlay but whenever I try create the ebuild cache for it, it only processes 18 files, and it does not process any files when I try to generate the metadata cache. It seems to work perfectly fine on my other machine and its configuration is virtually identical to the machine I am having this problem with.

Hi,

I have a little issue with some packages i want to uninstall. Anybody seeing the same issue ?

truc · Advocate Joined: 25 Jul 2005 Posts: 3199

it is because of space(s) in filenames.

so for now, you can do something like this
check the content of /root/temp before doing second step!!

Ok thank you I'll try that.

Is this a known bug or should I open one or at least warn ciaranm about it ?

He considers it a non-bug. He feels that the vdb entries shouldn't have spaces in the file names but paludis has to work with portage's vdb format which does in fact allow for them.

I wouldn't open a bug on this; it's even discussed in this thread already.

Hi, I just stumbled upon this project and wan't to ask: What's the actual status of the project? Is it ready for normal use (well, at least for my development machine)?

I have sort of antipaty for scripted languages, so Paludis seems like a gift from gods to me

As 0.16.0 version of Paludis is out, I have created an new Paludis support thread (current v. 0.16.0) - Part 2
