Sorry read too quickly 
It's in /var/db/pkg
category/packagename-version
The package to delete and reinstall is the one which causes error message.

VDB = /var/db/pkg directory.It is like the portage tree but only for installed packages.Paludis/Portage are looking into it for information about installed packages.Browse through it and you will know more. 
Deleting the VDB entry and immediately reinstalling it will create a new (correct) entry.

Thanks!!!
So far, I got rid of the kde-env problem (by deleting librss from VDB and reinstalling) and virtuals/x11 (by deleting the entry), but I can't reinstall virtuals/x11 because it turns out it's masked... Would that cause a problem? AFAIK, virtuals don't really install anything and if the only version is masked, I probably do not need it. Am I right?

I was trying to emerge paludis but I got an error:
| Code: | emerge -pv paludis
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "virtual/c++-tr1-memory" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- virtual/c++-tr1-memory-0 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) |
There are no such ebuild not it is explained in documentation on the official web-page where to find it or what is it? |

|
|
Emerging paludis (version 0.22.1) with the zsh-completion USE flag seems to have broken some of my zsh completion.
in zsh, if I try to use tab completion for vim I get the following error message: | Code: | vim /etc/pal<tab>
_arguments:340: _vim_files: function definition file not found |
I found the file where this error occurs, /usr/share/zsh/4.3.2/functions/Completion/Base/_arguments, and here is where it happens: | Code: | else
# Otherwise we call it with the description-arguments.
eval "action=( $action )"
while _next_label "$subc" expl "$descr"; do
"$action[1]" "$subopts[@]" "$expl[@]" "${(@)action[2,-1]}" && ret=0 # <== HERE
done |
The function _vim_files appears to be defined in this file: /usr/share/zsh/4.3.2/functions/Completion/Unix/_vim
My guess is that the order in which files get evaluated has changed or something so the the routine in the _arguments file is now running before the _vim file gets evaluated. I'm totally out of my depth here, perhaps a wizard could help me.
I'm totally addicted to tab completion so I've dropped back to Bash for now. |

they're paludis virtuals, just add
| Code: | virtual/c++-tr1-functional ~x86
virtual/c++-tr1-memory ~x86
virtual/c++-tr1-type-traits ~x86 |
to your package.keywords
you migth need to add the paludis-overlay overlay with layman 1st for it to work, not sure. |

Yes, you're right... This virtual/x11 is going to be deleted

I'm having problems using ccache with Paludis. I've just installed Paludis-0.22.1. I've been using ccache for a while with portage with no problems. Now when I try to use it with paludis, I get errors like: | Code: | make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/paludis/sys-devel/bc-1.06-r6/work/bc-1.06/lib'
/usr/lib/ccache/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I./../h -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -Wall -funsigned-char -c getopt.c
/usr/lib/ccache/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I./../h -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -Wall -funsigned-char -c getopt1.c

ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /data/ccache/getopt1.tmp.chi.2950.i
ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /data/ccache/getopt.tmp.chi.2949.i |
My /etc/paludis/bashrc file contains: | Code: | export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin/:$PATH"
export CCACHE_DIR="/data/ccache"
export CC="/usr/lib/ccache/bin/gcc"
export CXX="/usr/lib/ccache/bin/g++" |
I tried it first without those last two lines and got exactly the same result. The /data/ccache directory belongs to root:portage and I am running paludis as root. For now, I've just commented out all the ccache lines in the Paludis bashrc in order to get it to work. |

Do a "chown -R paludisbuild:paludisbuild" on your ccache dir.
Moreover, if you have ccache first in your PATH, you shouldn't require the CC and CXX env vars.

Hmmm ... well, my problem was that ccache wasn't working for Paludis builds -- chowning it fixed that, and my cache hits went up.
It seems like the problem in your case is that paludisbuild is trying to manipulate the cache from within the sandbox. Did you make sure to remove CC and CXX from your bashrc? Does it happen with all packages?

I found and fixed my ccache problem. In my bashrc I had: | Code: | | export CCACHE_DIR="/data/ccache" |
which is where it was when I was using emerge.
I simply changed that line to: | Code: | | export CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" |
and it started to work!
I tried symlinking /var/tmp/ccache to my old location but I got the access denied errors again.
I really don't understand why Paludis insists that the ccache be under the /var/tmp directory. It seems insane to me. My understanding was that it should be perfectly safe to delete everything under both /tmp and /var/tmp at boot time. If people did this then it would render the ccache almost completely useless. Also, I want to control which partition my ccache is on. That way I can share it and I can make it real big without robbing space from my root partition. Grrr.
Thanks for you help Hypnos. It was your comment about the sandbox that steered me in the right direction. |

/var/tmp is world writeable and has the sticky bit set, which might be a factor. It would interesting to try your old setup with the same permissions on "data". (Paludis does a lot of safety checks, and yours might have tripped one -- another thing to try might be increasing your log-level to see if Paludis says anything interesting along these lines.)

I'm on the same boat as BitJam. If I change the ccache dir from:
| Code: | | export CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" |
to:
| Code: | | export CCACHE_DIR="/root/.ccache" |
It will stop working:
| Code: | checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... /usr/lib/ccache/bin/gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I did the chown thingy on /root/.ccache as suggested by Hypnos. On the other hand /var/tmp/paludis is owned by root and it works.
I know that ccache is working because there are files in /var/tmp/ccache, but as BitJam I want to have control over where the dir is placed. Also ccache -s won't show statistics if I don't use /root/.ccache (is there a way to configurate where ccache looks for statistical data?). Can you check statistics, BitJam?

You need to add ${CCACHE_DIR} to SANDBOX_WRITE. |

The /root/.ccache directory is just a default. The following works for me: | Code: | | $ CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" ccache -s |

i have a great problem with paludis:
everytime i issue a command for paludis, wichever it is except the sync, i only get an error:
| Quote: | Query error:
* In program paludis -ip --dl-reinstall if-use-changed world:
* When performing install action from command line:
* When executing install task:
* When adding PackageDepSpec 'x11-base/opengl-update':
* No versions of 'x11-base/opengl-update' are available
|
i verified the presence of this package in portage, and it doesn't figure out, nor as masked, had-masked or stable.... and i don't know where to get it..... i search around in the forum and didn't find any useful reply.... so i'm asking here for some help.... |

Can someone explain this to me?
| Quote: | Uninstall options:
--with-unused-dependencies
Also uninstall any dependencies of the target that are no longer used
--with-dependencies Also uninstall packages that depend upon the target |
| Code: | # paludis -up --with-unused-dependencies vmware-server
Building unmerge list... done
These packages will be uninstalled:
* app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.2.39867::installed
Total: 1 package |
| Code: | # paludis -up --with-dependencies xinetd
Building unmerge list... done
These packages will be uninstalled:
* app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.2.39867::installed
* sys-apps/xinetd-2.3.14::installed
Total: 2 packages |
Am I understanding wrong or is paludis broken?
I know vmware-modules is also a dependency of vmware-server, but that's all. Am I going to be stall with unused packages?

I'm asking paludis to unstall vmware-server and all dependencies that would otherwise be unused anymore, and it return nothing. Yet, knowing xinetd is a dependency of vmware-server, I did the oposite and ask paludis to remove xinetd and all packages that depends on it, it yields ONLY vmware-server, meaning that only vmware-server depends on it (which I knew) and so the --with-unused-dependencies does not seem to work properly (for not saying at all).

Hmm,I just tested the check_linkage.rb script:
| Code: | | ruby /usr/share/paludis/ruby/demos/check_linkage.rb |
It is an replacement for revdep-rebuild.It uses Paludis for checking.revdep-rebuild told me:
| Code: | | Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done. |
check_linkage.rb found 5 packages to reinstall:sun-jdk,blackdown-jdk,openoffice-bin,firefox-bin and thunderbird-bin.
Annother demonstration of the power of Paludis.
